BOGUS
Enough now. It doesn’t matter. I’ll gift all three of you to the Crumnox! That will show Crogus. It’s so easy to bring down you lesser beings –
(Sings.)
Sure you chafe at the chain
Protest you’re not lesser, but what’s in a name?
As long as you’re in your place, safe
To learn at the knee of a superior race
Fight all you will, that’s the thrill for us all
To watch little dumb dumbs try to evolve
My sympathies - oh, how it must burn
When one learns one’s place is to serve
In every direction, we have searched and we find
Lesser being’s possessing a lesser mind, lesser mind
Galactically speaking, you’re of poorer design
It’s just a foible of breeding with your lesser kind, lesser kind
It’s so quaint what you have
A cute little culture that isn’t half bad
But look at the facts as they appear
Look at my people, the comparison’s clear:
You’re nobly savage, but your brain is your traitor
Quite below average by the metrics we favor
See it our way because we can’t see it yours
To stoop so low would question our worth
We have made the decision to do our best to be kind
Provide supervision to your lesser minds, lesser minds
Give you labor, for propose, let you bast in our shine
We are benevolent handlers of your lesser kind, lesser kind
Lesser beings!
Lesser beings!
Now you beg, I laugh! Your chance has passed
Your failures are vast - your planet had crashed:
We ended your wars, we cleaned your shores
We fed your poor - and now you want more??
When I turn you fools in
I’ll make sure you suffer
They’ll finally see my greatness
No longer lesser than my br-OH
…That hurt.
He’s cut off when he’s bashed in the head. He falls to the ground.
NUPHA is holding the pipe.
NUPHA
That’s one way to shut him up.
SONDRA
You hit him with a pipe! He’s been knocked out.
NUPHA
Fight all you will - that’s the thrill; did he say?
Well I hope that he’s thrilled from this pipe to his brain.
And fight, yes indeed - til the day we are free.
The rebellion forever are weeeeeeee!
Condescension and blame, threats to dissect and divide
Is the common refrain of a lesser mind, lesser mind
Tyrants beware - where you assail and malign,
You may be caught unawares by a lesser kind, lesser kind!
Lesser beings!
Lesser beings!
SONDRA, PANGA
Na na na na na na!
Na na na na na na!
Na na na na na na!
Na na na na na, na na na!
Na na na na na na!
Na na na na na na!
Na na na na na na!
Na na na na na, na na na!
