Louis Napoleon

Lyrics

(To) forsake your Italian For a German Who shouts (iconically) Is creativity And art history

Half the former Fatherland Is the spiritual homeland Of the International Proletariat — Which must Accept the aesthetic apparat Of bundes republican fat

A social project is a commodity Conditioned by the obvious nobility Of a geriatric Luftwaffe reject Autoiconographic Door to door Wall to wall … Nobody

It takes a careless singer To provide a nonentity With the identity And the last claim to territory Of a teacher To fools and heroes

Desert your Italian For a German: Someone wants to help you learn The interdisciplinary Publicity Of complimentary (sic) Cultural creati-creativity
