[Focault's Pendulum]

You've got to be taught To hate and fear

I sang that on tour with South Pacific for six months.

I like your lyrics better.

Lt. Cable at your service!

I didn't do the music link for my parody correctly. Hey, I'm a little rusty! So here goes again:

YOU'VE GOT TO BE CAREFULLY TAUGHT (not to want to be beheaded)
Tune: "You've Got to Be Carefully Taught"

You've got to be taught
To hate and fear
Those who'd cut off your head
From ear to ear
It's got to be from
A Rethuglican smear
You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught
To hate the guts
Of people whose knives
Make murd'rous cuts
It can't be because
They're just evil and nuts
You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught--
Those can't be your views!
Those viewpoints were bought--
It must be the Jooos!
They're shaping your thought--
And there's always Fox News!
You've got to be carefully taught!

“South Pacific” is one of the most popular musicals for stock companies, colleges, and other schools. Sometimes actors and actresses perform the same role for years that the character takes over their personalities. I knew a stock company actress named Dixie who performed as Blanche Dubois in “A Streetcar Named Desire” so many times over the years that her original personality was completely taken over by Blanche in real life.
