6. Community (critical mass comm)

I look around, and all I see are my people,
plants from the same planet, me equals,
we love and we live, that’s bilingual,
party on Darth, party on Threepio,

but if yer gonna kill in the name of my people,
it’s gonna be the shame of my people,
rationalizing the taking of lives is not
real, it’s a figment of the Right’s ego,

and if our leaders don’t do what we do,
what’s the point of allowing them to lead dude?
If they aren’t transparent and see thru,
why should they be privy to business between me and you?

And how come we need to,
pay these goons to be true to what we do for
free? The Hoth rule is ‘be cool,’
is it right they have more rights than we do?

Hey community, how ‘bout some unity,
and a lot less diplomatic immunity,
pardon me, but my patience is limited,
don’t understand? Then yer ignorant or in on it,

So which is it? Stupid or liar,
a mercenary or a cupid for hire,
you got paid, that’s why you don’t hear me, the
same kinda cats who call facts conspiracy theory,

they don’t have the time,
maintaining paychecks keeps ‘em in line,
step out, and get sent to hardening school, for
not being able to follow their arbitrary rules,

you’ve become a problematic stat,
problem with that, Ceez were never good in math,
the prison state keeps you out of their path, but
educate? Meglos ain’t got time for that.

Who takes care of us? Community. If there’s
beef who squares it up? Community.
What if the rebels attack? Fair enough, but
what if they’re mad at our government, and not us?

We’re fellow Hothians aren’t we?
How could you ever kill another Hothling?
Oh, he was resisting directions?
Really? And lots of other questions…
