Puppet speak

Puppet speak

I am shocked They really are so ungrateful and rude

Just because they know they’ve been screwed

There’s never been a peace deal like this before

That gives the aggressor more and more and more

Just because we decided their borders are shrinking

They complain that we should be rethinking

They don’t understand their sovereignty didn’t matter

If they refuse then there are buildings that we’ll shatter

They must accept their army has to be smaller

So they cannot resist the future slaughter

NATO must not help they must remain weak

Europe’s not a problem they are meek

In fact they will promise not to interfere

I talked with Vlad and I know he’s sincere

You know his word is as good as mine

But I’ll stop sending aid should you decline

In recognition of my effort I’ll take your resources

Whilst you busy yourself with burying corpses

It’s just compensation for my stopping the war

To get the Nobel prize I should have had before

No way will you become a nuclear state

Not while Vlad and Donny continue to dictate

Just accept what we require from you

Stop being so ungrateful for our review

Let’s forget all that’s gone before

The killings rapes butchering and more

There must never be any recrimination

Vlad sees no need for any compensation

In the future history will have to say

Thanks to Donny who saved the day

And Vlad says he’ll never start another war

Just like he has several times before
