“Paloauto on keltainen
lehmä sanoo hu-huu
tytöllä on kikkeli ja pojalla on pimppi
taide on paskaa ja homot pitää tappaa
jumala on kuollut ja
kahvi maksaa mitä maksaa, liikaa
herrat on tekopyhiä
ja meidän perhe on oikeessa”

“demokratia ainoa hallitusmuoto
kapitalismi ainoa talousjärjestelmä
kuluttaminen hyvinvoinnin ainoa tae
unet on turhia
terveys on tärkein asia
ja kansanterveys ja alhaiset verot
naapurit on omituisia
ja ulkomaalaiset pitää tappaa
mutta sitä ei saa sanoa ääneen
niinkuin ei sitäkään, että vanhukset
ja työttömät
ja sosiaalipummit
ja kaikki vitun hörhöt jotka elää mun siivellä
ja alkoholistit ja vaimonpieksäjät ja niiden vaimot”
