[Intro – spoken, clipped like a broadcast] The morning after Pearl Harbor, soldiers occupied Disney Studios. From animation cells to barracks, the reels became weapons. [Verse 1] Overnight, the mouse wore stripes and boots, The studio marched to a military tune. Cartoon castles turned command halls, Propaganda posters on the office walls. Public stock sold, Kidder Peabody blessed, A thousand workers drilled at their desks. From Burbank streets to a global stage, Disney’s kingdom became the war machine’s cage. [Hook – chant with snares and horns] Propaganda Walt, march in line, Every reel framed for the battle’s design. Training minds with a soldier’s art, Animation turned into state-made charts. [Verse 2] Why We Fight taught the cause in reels, Cartoons masking the government’s deals. IRS films to squeeze the tax, Obedience scripted, no questions asked. “Army Psychotherapy” broke down fear, Teaching men how to kill with cheer. “Prostitution & the War” on a secret slate, Lessons in vice wrapped as soldier’s fate. Carrier pigeons dodging flak in flight, Drawn on paper to win the fight. [Hook – rolling snares, layered choir] Propaganda Walt, march in line, Every reel framed for the battle’s design. Training minds with a soldier’s art, Animation turned into state-made charts. [Bridge – spoken, grave tone] These weren’t children’s films. They were psychological weapons. Scripts written for obedience, Conditioning by design. [Verse 3] The studio fenced, but the orders came, Top-secret reels for a hidden campaign. Programming minds through picture and song, Conditioning soldiers to march along. The world believed in wholesome shows, But the Pentagon pulled the strings below. Propaganda Walt the public face, Behind the art, a military base. [Hook – final, grand cadence] Propaganda Walt, march in line, Every reel framed for the battle’s design. Training minds with a soldier’s art, Animation turned into state-made charts. [Outro – spoken over fading snare rolls] Disney became the Pentagon’s animator. The films were reels of obedience, And the war machine smiled.
