trickalittle – the “Conforming Song”
(To the tune of pickalittle from The Music Man)
Trick a little, talk a little, trick a little, talk a little,
Creep creep creep, talk a lot, trick a little more
State and County:
Trick a little, talk a little, trick a little,
Talk a little, creep creep creep, talk a lot, trick a little more
Federal, State, County, Media, Children:
Trick a little, talk a little, trick a little,
Talk a little, creep creep creep, talk a lot, trick a little more
Media:
Citizens, some kinds of people don’t belong in our society.
Of course, I shouldn’t tell you this but they are promoting dangerous thinking.
Citizens:
Dangerous thinking!
State:
Unchecked
County:
Non-conforming
Federal:
Questioning!
Media:
And the worst thing
Of course, I shouldn’t tell you this but-
State:
I’ll tell.
County:
This happened in my county, let me tell.
Federal:
Stop! I’ll tell.
They made brazen overtures to citizens who never
Had an unplanned thought in their heads until they came here.
State:
Oh, yes
Those people made brazen overtures
With a guilt-free guarantee
They had a golden rule glint in the eye
And a silver voice with a counterfeit ring
Just melt them down and you’ll reveal
A lump of lies as cold as steel
Here, where a citizen’s Doctrine should be!
Federal, State, County, Media, Children:
They left the county with Our Citizen’s curses
But they left unsafe thoughts behind
State and Children:
Unchecked
County and Children:
Non-conforming
Federal and Children:
Questioning!
Federal, State, County, Media, Children:
Trick a little, talk a little, trick a little, talk a little,
Creep creep creep, talk a lot, trick a little more
Trick a little, talk a little, trick a little, talk a little,
Creep creep creep, talk a lot, trick a little more
Trick a little, talk a little, trick a little, talk a little,
Creep creep creep creep creep creep creep creep
Creep creep creep creep creep creep creep creep
Creep creep creep creep creep creep creep creep
Trick a little, talk a little, leap!
