Drive Me Crazy
Dictators die
To those who can hear me, I say "Do not despair."
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed,
the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die,
and the power they took from the people will return to the people.
Soldiers!
Don't give yourselves to brutes,
men who despise you and enslave you;
who regiment your lives, tell you what to do,
what to think and what to feel! Who drill you,
diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder!
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men-machine men
with machine minds and machine hearts!
You are not machines! You are not cattle!
You are men!
You have a love of humanity in your hearts!
You don't hate!
Only the unloved hate; the unloved and the unnatural.
In you! You, the people, have the power,
the power to create machines,
the power to create happiness!
You, the people,
have the power to make this life free and beautiful,
to make this life a wonderful adventure.
Then in the name of democracy, let us use that power.
Let us all unite.
