all a part of Reagan’s plan.<\/div>\n

Strutting like a magistrate,<\/div>\n

Now the great election looms,<\/div>\n
sealing our collective dooms.<\/div>\n
If it’s Dems, we shall rejoice.<\/div>\n
If it’s not, we’ll lose free choice.<\/div>\n
Get out to the polls and vote.<\/div>\n
Russia’s gonna rock the boat.<\/div>\n
Our good country’s on the brink.<\/div>\n
It is time to swim or sink.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
