   Sometimes that's called, a republic.   
   Some interests are more special than others uttered.

   He can say, you're fired.   
      
   With government work, telling someone they're fired   
   might be a laugh. And yet, the laughs vary.

   Sometimes people get into politics and cash out as they sell out   
   those who thought they put them into office for a reason.   
      
   At times people get the joke   
   and who the laugh is on, who has the last laugh, who dies   
   without laughing, and other odd acts in the great play   
   of history as it unfolds for a spell.   
      
   Some watchers of the show think this is the first matrix.   
   Or that something new is about to happen.   
      
   In a movie theater, the screen does not move.
