We’re in a democratic state Everything’s open for debate Speech is a fundamental right The best ideas will win the fight Why don’t you want to take the bait? If you’re right, you should demonstrate Your point using facts and logic Don’t be overly dramatic How smart would it be To show fascists? How smart would it be To have fascists on TV? Let’s invite them at our table And make them feel comfortable We’re not a bunch of stupid fools They agreed to play by the rules They can spark a controversy Be provocative and edgy As long as they’re polite and kind The public will make their own mind How fun would it be To watch fascists? How fun would it be To have fascists on TV? Do not look beyond their disguise Do not contradict all their lies Just let them blow their dog whistles Fire their fake news like missiles Bring them a new audience to reach Help them to broadcast their hate speech Let’s pretend we don’t pick a side While they plant seeds of genocide How bad could it be To help fascists? How bad could it be To have fascists on TV?

I am gross and perverted I'm obsessed 'n deranged I have existed for years But very little has changed I'm the tool of the Government And industry too For I am destined to rule And regulate you I may be vile and pernicious But you can't look away I'll make you think I'm delicious With the stuff that I say I'm the best you can get Have you guessed me yet? I'm the slime oozin' out From your TV set You will obey me while I lead you And eat the garbage that I feed you Until the day that we don't need you Don't go for help... no one will heed you Your mind is totally controlled It has been stuffed into my mold And you will do as you are told Until the rights to you are sold That's right, folks... Don't touch that dial I am the slime from your video Oozin' along on your livin' room floor I am the slime from your video Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go

about

> Fascists on TV
Over the years, french medias have drifted further and further to the right, to the point that straightforward fascist speeches are platformed daily. Some billionaire-owned medias heavily contribute to spreading lies and hatred.
This inspired the lyrics of this song, but also the music, which was built around deformed voice samples.

> I’m the slime
This is a freely-arranged Frank Zappa cover. The original is from 1973. The lyrics felt like a good fit for a b-side.

If you like what you ear, check out the album Capitalist Supremacy for more raw, unbridled buffoonery.
