        I don't have to do what you say,
        I don't have to say what you do,
        I don't have to say what you say,
        I don't have to do what you do.

        I don't have to stand out of the way
        When the band get up and play,
        I don't have to weigh myself in the sand
        When the play gets out of hand.

        I don't have to stand for what you do,
        I don't have to do for what you stand,
        I don't have to stand for what you stand,
        I don't I don't I don't I don't.

        I can't stand what you do and what you say
        When the band get up and play,
        I can't seem to say what they demand
        When the play gets out of hand.

        Do wah de wah de wah de wayy,
        Do wayy de wayy de wayy de wah,
        Way do de wayy de wayy de wayy,
        Woo hoo de wah de wah de wah.

        Wah de wah de wayy de wah de wayy,
        Wayy de wayy de wah de wayy de wah,
        Wah wha de band get up and play,
        Wayy wayy de play get out of hand.

        I don't play to say the band to stand,
        I don't stand to play the band to say,
        I don't say the band to stay the stand,
        I don't plan to stay to hear you say.

        I don't have to stay to see the play,
        I don't have to play to stay the sea,
        I don't have to see to stand the play,
        I don't have to play to stand the sea.

        Woo de hoo de whee de wah de whoo,
        De band get up and play de woop te woo,
        Wee de hee de hoo de whee de doo,
        De play get out of hand de doo se doo.

        I don't have to do what you say,
        I don't have to say what you do,
        I don't have to say what you say,
        I don't I don't I don't I don't.

(Was this poem the root of the dustup in agora? Is *this* the voice of
the electronic mental entity? Will everyone now refuse to cooperate with
everyone else? Is this how the world ends? STAY TUNED!)
