CHAPTER 201 And when the people start to get restless,
2 iAbout a lot of different things,
3 jWhich they will start to do sometime after the murder of their leader,
4 The TV journalists will be there to help,

6 And explaining everything,
7 So that even the dumbest person in the TV audience can understand it all,
8 kIn just twenty-two minutes a night.
CHAPTER 211 And some of them will even put on lsafari jackets,

7 And mines,
8 And incendiary bombs,
9 And what it looks like when there's real fighting,
10 Within range of the TV cameras,
11 And what it looks like when it's hard to tell exactly what's going on,

14 And explain everything,
15 oSo that every single person in the TV audience can make up their own mind.
