GOOD BOOK
Cho1: Read a good book, you should read this
Good book if you live with a dictator!
Read a good book, it can teach you
How to overthrow him now or later!
Gene Sharp wrote a book that happens to be quite handy
With great reviews from Martin Luther King and Ghandi!
If you're oppressed, this book is even better than candy
So get two today, and give one away!
Read a good book, you can read this good book,
Overthrow him using only peaceful means!
So read a good book,
Show the world that he is full of, ..beans!
You will learn to undermine his support systems!
And thousands of little ways you can resist him
Dump him and all of the henchmen who assist him
Read this good book, give that guy the hook!
Read a good book, you can read this good book,
When your country doesn't know what else to do
So read this good book, you can learn to topple, ...
You-Know-Who!
Instrumental Chorus 2: (whistling & spoons)
Read a good book, you will like this
Good book if your leader's kind of smarmy!
In This good book, you learn to
Terri-fy someone who's led astray the army
When your Dictator's limited social skills get stranger
People who've read this, say that "it'll be a game changer!"
So don't read it in public, 'cause you might be in danger
And they'll take you away, before you can say, ...
Read a good book,
Call the Einstein Institute and
Order your own good book today!
Dial 617-247-4882,
Liberate your country and you'll
Feel o-kay!
Yes, read this good book
So your pals and you can chase
Your yucky old Dictator, far a-way!
