They gave me a text printed on 80 g velvet paper
and they told me to read it
I tried to speak as clearly as I could
with a nice loud voice
If our leader was here
he'd be proud of me
and would definitely give me a bracelet
or a conductor's baton, for a reward
He sometimes gives us batons as gifts
but we don't know how to use them, because we're not conductors
We just want the world to be better
I mean, not to seem better, but to be better actually
We did some horrible things in the past
but you have to forgive us, since we had no choice
We were not misled-- that's a terrible lie
Our president had a really nice car
and he used to take some of us, his favorite ones
and we'd all go for a ride down by the sea
That was in the beginning
And afterwards, as more and more members were joining our group
his rides to the sea were out of the question
Our president is really strong
and a quick runner
He never harmed anyone without a reason
Most of us live regular lives
We're just like you
Our common characteristic is that we're all very handsome
and we dance really well
We're great dancers
Then they took me to a room that was cold
ice cold, to be more precise
and they gave me a croissant and fresh fruits to eat
I asked for some sparkling water
and after a minute, they brought a glass full of sparkling water
The water's temperature was neither hot nor cold
It was just perfect
A little bit later, the selection time had come
They brought us the box with the frogs and the nightingales
What we had to do
was pick a nightingale without looking
It was very easy for me
I did it at once
It's very easy
I told everyone around
Don't be afraid
Fear is not a good thing
I said, and then I left the room
They gave me a nice clean suit to wear, and a new pair of socks
I put them on, and they looked great on me
A man I haven't met before shouted from the audience
I'll see you tomorrow, on the mountain
In the morning, before the sun rises
we'll meet with you and your friends there
We'll be waiting for you
Your president is a coward, and you're a bunch of fools
I didn't even bother to look at him
and I kept walking in a stable pace
I then hurt my elbow
I said
Help
but not loudly
It would be really awkward to shout "help" loudly
at that particular moment
It would be, at best, ridiculous
I then said
We're unbeatable, united, determined
Tomorrow on the mountain you'll see what you'll get
We know the difference between frogs and nightingales
We're young
We dance well
We know how to swim
We have beautiful beaches, and beautiful piers
We own healthy dogs
We have loyal partners
and we have honest parents
Give us any text and we'll read it for you
clearly and loudly
We just want the world to be better
We did some horrible things in the past
but you have to forgive us
We had no choice
We're all very handsome
