Pontiac - Honestas (Respectability in Society)
in the march of goose-stepping Brownshirts,
I desire no honestas,
in the yell of cross-burning Klansmen,
I desire no honestas,
in the prayers of self-martyring Terrorists,
I desire no honestas,
in the greed of worker-exploiting Industrialists,
in the lies of power-grubbing Politicians,
in the words of self-aggrandizing Preachers,
I desire no honestas,
But in the society of everyday, go-to-work, make-a-living,love-your-neighbor, do-your-share, live-and-let-live,
This honestas, I desire, oh, yes, I so desire.
