So man needs to raise a Godspital
Where all his subjects could stand
And keep Him wanting nothing.

International parleys go frozen
Recession and inflation
Go to the backburner

And all similar social evils
Will be either secondary
Or may sound silly.

Petty fundamentalists
And powerful stockbulls
Sex, sin and sensex
