This is the Official Hour.
Hands where we can see them.
Thoughts where we can’t.

Sing it proud—hold the line,
Smile wide—swallow time.
Louder the hymn… closer the end.

They worship “us” like scripture, sell the flag like cure.
Every stranger = suspect, every question “impure”.
Why learn tongues? Let ’em stutter—if they can’t, they less.
World should speak your alphabet, salute your address.
They mold the past like wet cement, press it to the wall.
Erase the losses, paint the wins, crown the loudest of all.
Doubt is “treason”, dissent is “crime”, truth cuffed in the grin.
Freedom’s a bedtime myth for those who won’t “discipline”.
Split the block in rival tribes, hand out fear as bread.
Keep the crowd busy fighting while you count the votes instead.
“Patriot” becomes a weapon—love measured by hate.
Mountains “tallest”, songs “purest”, maps must fabricate.
If reality objects, call it foreign, call it rude.
Then drop a bigger anthem as a blanket for the mood.
It sounds so holy—till you hear what it demands:
Hands up for the symbol… mind down for the plans.

Sing it proud—hold the line,
Smile wide—swallow time.
Louder the hymn… closer the end.

Attention citizens… keep moving.

WHO’S the enemy? (THEY are!)
WHO’S to blame? (THEY are!)
WHO’S the real one? (WE are!)
WHO’S insane? (THEY are!)

Obey, don’t think— (YES, SIR!)
Keep it sweet— (YES, SIR!)
If you doubt— (THAT’S HIM!)
Point ’em out— (RIGHT THERE!)
They want you loyal— (SO LOYAL)
Like a dog on chain— (GOOD BOY)
They want you smiling— (BIG SMILE)
While they widen frame— (WIDE WIDE)
Divide the block— (CUT IT UP)
Let neighbors compete— (FIGHT FIGHT)
Most patriotic— (MOST MOST)
Get a prize in street— (WHAT THAT?)
Photo with the boss— (CLICK CLICK)
Handshake for the brave— (SHAKE THAT)
Tax “forgiveness”… (OH YEAH)
For the friends you save— (NOT YOU)

Sing it proud—hold the line, (hold the line)
Smile wide—swallow time. (swallow time)
Louder the hymn… closer the end. (closer the end)

Next broadcast… keep your hearts in rhythm.

Cruisin’ slow, sun low, parade on boulevard.
Flags on every corner like they watchin’ you hard.
Culture on the posters, faith in neon, smiles on cue.
They don’t pray to heaven—nah, they pray to “me and you”.
Borrow sacred symbols like a mask for the stage.
Cross here, flag there—turn belief into a cage.
Church becomes a trophy room, prayer becomes a pledge.
God’s a background actor while the leader takes the edge.
When the plans fall apart? Conspiracies and spies.
“Not our fault,” they shrug, and point their hands at skies.
They sell blame in easy bags: neighbors, aliens, the news.
Anything but mirrors—anything but self-refuse.
Hook sound pretty, like choir on TV.
But every poster-smile got “yes sir” barbed wire in me.
Keep the party sunny, keep menace out the frame.
Turn a crowd into fans who never say your name.
Parade energy on top… corrosive underneath:
Pretty notes can hide a knife when the crowd forgets its teeth.

Sing it proud—hold the line,
Smile wide—swallow time.
Louder the hymn… closer the end.

Signal weak… temperature dropping.

Basement heat, paper cup, winter breath on glass.
Needle crackle tells the truth their loudspeakers can’t mask.
They praise ignorance as virtue: “Questions make you less”.
Schools go quiet, books go missing, minds trained to suppress.
Math only counts the faces chanting in a row.
Philosophy’s a menace, so they ban it from the glow.
But silence isn’t empty—listen close, it learns to speak.
Even concrete splits with time, even idols start to leak.
You can’t duct-tape hunger shut, you can’t censor tides.
You can’t jail a laugh forever—eventually it multiplies.
Pedestal on sand, tide comes in, patient as a drum.
And the “anthem” turns to echo where all endings come.
Slogans lose their shine, murals start to fade.
Crowds unlearn the chant like a spell that misbehaved.
Truth returns in small receipts, in whispers, in the rain.
A tired streetlight blinks the rhythm of your reign.
They thought they were immortal—till the ground said “time”.
Back-row giggle turns to thunder, spreads from block to block.
History don’t rush the ending—history checks the clock.
Another crown dissolves in daylight, another rule resigns.
And the patient tide keeps laughing… in measured lines.

Sing it proud—hold the line,
Smile wide—swallow time.
Louder the hymn… closer the end.

History is patient.
It always waits its turn… to laugh.
