Domination theory

In the neighborhood of Frankfurt
there's a party going on.
Erich Frohm and Althousser, Adorno and Markuse
make plans to save the masses
from the ruling class elites
- the American capitalists,
'masters to create false needs'.
Ioannidis listens;
Takes the guitar and starts to sing:
Enough with victimized masses!
It's them who dominate elites!
Why don't you try to save me instead
from your precious masses' rule,
who won't let me have a say,
unless I take my pants off.
