Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Lift up your head to the rising sun, Barmenistan; March on to glory your bright banners waving high. See how the world marks the manner of your bearing! Pledge to excel through love and unity. Pressing onward, march together to a common loftier goal; Steady sunward, tho' the weather hide the wide and treachrous shoal. Lift up your head to the rising sun, Barmenistan, 'Til the road you've trod lead unto your goal, March On, Barmenistan.
Current:
| Lift up your head to the eternal sun, oh Barmenian land; March on to glory your bright banners waving high. See how the world marks the manner of your bearing! Pledge to excel through love and unity. Pressing onward, march together to a common loftier goal; Steady sunward, tho' the weather hide the wide and treachrous shoal. Lift up your head to the shining sun, oh Barmenia, |
Proposed:
| I'm the son of rage and love The Jesus of Suburbia From the bible of "none of the above" On a steady diet of soda-pop and Ritalin No one ever died for my sins in hell As far as I can tell At least the ones I got away with But there's nothing wrong with me This is how I'm supposed to be In the Land of Barmenistan It believes in me Get my television fix Sitting on my crucifix The living in my private womb While the moms and Brads are away To fall in love and fall in debt To alcohol and cigarettes and Mary-Jane To keep me insane, doing someone else's cocaine But there's nothing wrong with me This is how I'm supposed to be In the land of Barmenistan It believes in me |
