A Citizen’s Dreams

Limit the position of the President of the Republic;

We want it to be parliamentary

 

Like England, oh gentlemen

Where the monarchy is truly noble.

 

And oh sweet ones, we want the presidential palaces

To become hotels that will make millions.

 

A republic, oh you best of men, where no parliamentarian

Serves for more than two terms.

 

Our regime will be socialist,

One that protects our dignity.

 

Enough of capitalism,

Disgrace, shame, and joblessness,

 

We want to get out of the jet

China will make you miserly

 

Where all of our prices are domestic—

Don’t whisper to me and say “global”

 

Where all salaries are equal:

They have a ceiling and a floor

 

Why should one man earn a million

While another begs for a hundred?
