[00:00.24] Tripitena:
[00:00.24] My love
[00:02.25] The king by any other name a pissoir
[00:07.44] You, my love tower over them all
[00:11.29] They are but vermin beneath your heels
[00:15.12] They are monkeys
[00:16.24] Suit them, frame them to your own vision
[00:19.60] But do not let one false word
[00:22.41] Of mockery seep through to your vast heart
[00:26.92] I have seen you from close and afar and your worth
[00:29.91] Far exceeds your height, your width
[00:32.23] The depth of your sorrow
[00:34.99] Oh willful outcast doth thou not see the light of our love
[00:40.44] Our linked fortunes
[00:42.36] Our hearts melded together
[00:44.30] Into one fine golden braided finery
[00:50.38] They listen to the music of idiots and amuse themselves
[00:53.81] With the sordid Miseries of their businesses
[00:56.91] They are not the things of angels
[00:59.51] Nor of any higher outpost that humanity might aspire to
[01:05.61] Your loathsome vomitous
[01:06.88] Businessman king is of the lowest order
[01:12.74] His advisors
[01:13.99] Crumbling mockeries of education driven by avarice
[01:20.0] My love
[01:21.60] Dress them in the suits of mockery
[01:23.83] And in their advanced state of stupidity
[01:25.97] And senility
[01:28.1] Burn and destroy them so their ashes might join the compost
[01:31.91] Which they so much deserve
[01:36.37] If justice on this earth be fleeting
[01:38.39] Let us for once hear the weeping
[01:40.99] And the braying of the businessman king
[01:45.60] Let them be the the orangutans they are
[01:49.15] And set them blazing from the chandelier for all to see
[01:52.66] Hanging from the ceiling by their ridiculous chains
[01:55.25] And petticoats which you will have them wear
[01:58.0] Under the guise of costumic buffoonery
[02:02.69] He who underestimates
[02:04.25] In time is bound to find the truth sublime
[02:07.82] And hollow lie upon the grates of systemic disorder
[02:13.67] Businessmen
[02:16.10] You're not worth shitting on
