No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be?

Seekers of the Truth, Stand Bravely!

Seekers of the Truth, stand bravely! For they create a land of need.
They wield the whip of poverty and promote the growth of Greed.
The millionaires are singing to the beating of the drums,
See the building of their mansions, and the spreading of the slums.

Roll a wave of battle music from the east unto the west,
‘Till it finds the homeless veteran, ‘till it fires his lowly breast.
Fight the politicians’ cruelty! Claim the rights that they begrudge…
