MEN DON'T PROTECT YOU ANYMORE

THE BEGINNING OF THE WAR WILL BE A SECRET

WHAT COUNTRY SHOULD YOU ADOPT IF YOU HATE POOR PEOPLE?

SILLY HOLES IN PEOPLE ARE FOR BREEDING OR ARE FROM SHOOTING

IT IS EMBARRASSING TO BE CAUGHT AND KILLED FOR STUPID REASONS

IN A DREAM YOU SAW A WAY TO SURVIVE AND YOU WERE FULL OF JOY

HANDS ON YOUR BREASTS CAN KEEP YOU HEART BEATING

YOU ARE CAUGHT THINKING ABOUT ANYONE YOU WANT

PROTECT ME FROM WHAT I WANT

THE FUTURE IS STUPID

BODIES LIE IN GRASS AND SOME ARE MURDERED AND SOME ARE PICKNICKING

ABUSE OF POWER COMES AS NO SURPRISE

LACK OF CHARISMA CAN BE FATAL

AWFUL PUNISHMENT AWAITS REALLY BAD PEOPLE

EXPIRING FOR LOVE IS BEAUTIFUL BUT STUPID

MONEY CREATES TASTE

PRIVATE PROPERTY CREATED CRIME

MOTHERS SHOULD NOT MAKE TOO MANY SACRIFICES

RAISE BOYS AND GIRLS THE SAME WAY

OUTER SPACE IS WHERE YOU DISCOVER WONDER, WHERE YOU FIGHT AND NEVER HURT EARTH. WHEN YOU STOP BELIEVING THIS YOUR MOOD TURNS UGLY.

FAT ON YOUR HIPS COMES WHEN YOU SIT AND LIE DOWN

WHAT URGE WILL SAVE US NOW THAT SEX WON'T?

IF YOU HAD BEHAVED NICELY THE COMMUNISTS WOULD NOT EXIST
