Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away; Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air. You'd better watch out! There may be dogs about I looked over Jordan, and I've seen Things are not what they seem.
That's what you get for pretending the danger's not real. Meek and obedient you follow the leader Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel. What a surprise! A look of terminal shock in your eyes. Now things are really what they seem. No, this is not a bad dream.
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want He makes me down to die Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by. With bright knives He releaseth my soul. He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places. He converteth me to lamb cutlets, For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger. When cometh the day we lowly ones, Through quiet reflection, and great dedication Master the art of Karate, Lo, we shall rise up, And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water.
Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream. Wave upon wave of demented avengers March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream.
Have you heard the news? The dogs are dead! You better stay home And do as you're told. Get out of the road if you want to grow old.
Tear down the Wall
The reality is that some will be arrested for demonstrating. Do not fight against that, be peaceful and let it happen. You will not be detained for long because the authorities do not want to feed and house you. They want to show the general public that they are in control. But after awhile there will simply be too many to arrest.

"October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was the pre-eminent political and ideological leader of India during the Indian independence movement. A pioneer of satyagraha, or resistance to tyranny through mass civil disobedience — a philosophy firmly founded upon ahimsa, or total nonviolence — Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world.?"
