When he learned that
To lose was to
Be spit upon
He wore a Superman outfit
And when he discovered that
Hate was becoming
More fashionable than love
He wore a swastika armband
And when he found that
The future was looking
More like the past
He wore a watch that ran backwards
And when he saw that
To be different was
The worst of all
He wore a mask made of mirrors
