Leviticus 19:18

Love Thy Neighbor.
Let's drop that one in the old
rationalizer
and give it a little twist,
like "Hi babe, let's make with
the love bit, hey!"

Fuck Thy Neighbor
if she is attractive and willing....
Damn good friends with her husband
and kids and your own wife...
You really like things as they are.
I don't know what to do with that one.
Let's try another kick.

Fuck Thy Neighbor
you know,
Grab any thing he's got
that you can get away with.
Now we're on solid ground.
Now we can really go.

We can build a whole damn
System
of how to get along with people,
call it Laissez Faire....
Like give and get.
Get every thing you can,
And give him shit.

(Now we got it) Fuck Thy Neighbor
Only we won't say it,
we'll just do it.
And we'll call it business,
big deal, smart move,
no sweat,
and we'll sell it to the world.

Love Thy Neighbor.
Let's try it once again.
We don't want no black bastard on our block.
No slant eyed jap or chink,
no kike or wop....
Keep them out.

Well, we could stretch our
list away out.
We could dehumanize them all.
There is only m
and a few good, clean, white
quiet folk just like me.
There's my neighbors,
love them all.

Annex

Thou Shalt Not Kill.
What that means is,
thou shalt not commit murder.
That's different.
That means thou shalt not
kill a neighbor.
Neat.
