Psalm 1

Blessed the man who does not follow the Party's slogans
nor attend their rallies
nor sit at the gangster's table
nor with the War Council's Generals
Blessed the man who refuses to spy on his brother
or betray his classmate
Blessed the man who does not read their newspaper ads
nor listen to their radio shows
nor believe their slogans

He will be like a tree planted by a spring

Psalm 4

Hear me because I invoke you God of my innocence
You will free me from the concentration camp

How long will our leaders be foolish?
How long until they quit speaking in slogans
and talking in pure propaganda?

They are many those who ask:
who will free us from their atomic weapons?
Lord let your serene countenance shine
over the Bombs

You have filled my heart with a joy
greater than that of the wine that they drink at their parties

As soon as I lie down I fall asleep
and I suffer neither nightmares nor insomnia
and I don't see the specters of my victims
I don't need Ambien
because you Lord give me security

Psalm 5

Listen to my words oh Lord
Hear my moans
Listen to my protest
Because you are not a God that befriends dictators
nor a party to their politics
nor influenced by propaganda
nor are you in fellowship with gangsters

There is no sincerity in their speeches
nor in their press releases

They speak of peace in their speeches
while upping their production of war

They speak of peace at Peace Conferences
and in secret they prepare for war

Their lying radios drone on all night

Their desks are covered in criminal plans
and sinister files
But you will save me from their plans

They speak with the mouths of machine guns
Their resplendent tongues
are bayonets...

Punish them oh God
ruin their politics
confuse their memorandums
impede their programs

When the Alarm Siren sounds
you will be with me
you will be my refuge on the day of the Bomb

To he who do not believe in their commercial's lies
nor in their publicity campaigns nor in their political campaigns
you bless him
You surround him with your love
like armor-plated tanks
