His unsentimental attitude never came undone.
Economic sanctions included the rising sun
and by demanding your supply he always won.
The punk manifesto by Atilla the Hun!

--

Drowsy Alexander wasn't so great
and as a conquering hero he requires debate.
History books relented by altering his fate
and conveniently forgot he would sleep in late!

--

The onslaught of the Mongols wouldn't be denied
during this reign of terror with nowhere to hide
but Genghis Khan faced a turning tide
when therapy brought out his softer side!

--

On this party platform the candidate did bring
the contrivance of desire which pulled our string
and these basic instincts would close the deal
as we succumbed to the marketing of his sex appeal!

--

Behind the TV test patterns late at night
are the kids who have dropped out of sight
led by the Pied Piper with malevolent delight.
Puberty is like battling a losing fight!
