In a moderate society,
man must live by moderate means
to function in a moderate manner.
Nothing happens with luck or skill,
only through moderation, can one truly moderate
in a moderate capacity to moderate their needs.
So the killer boys walk the hallways
shooting their guns. Should they die?
No, in a moderate society, there's no killing.
Shoot them like a wild animal,
with a tranquilizer gun!
The sleep shooters know how.
The sleep shooters know how!
They're the lucky ones.
They're the lucky ones.
Let the boys sleep while accountants count the dead.
The accountants will inaccurately count the dead
and mislead the public. The boys will learn not to kill.
Only then, can the boys live in moderation.
A moderate society thrives in moderation.
This is the way to Mulberry drive.
This is the way to Mulberry drive.
Drive safe, not fast.
Drive safe, not fast.
Go home and live in moderation
like the good boys do.
