The Rand Hymn
Decoding the Enigma: The Rand Corporation's Grip on Our Fate
Lyrics
Oh, the Rand Corporation's the
Expressing the significance of the Rand Corporation
Boon of the world
Referring to Rand Corporation as a global benefit
They think all day long for a fee
Highlighting that Rand professionals think continuously for payment
They sit and play games about
Imagery of playing games about destructive scenarios
Going up in flames
Suggesting a willingness to entertain destructive ideas
For counters they use you and me, honey bee
Describing people (counters) used by Rand, likening to honey bees
For counters they use you and me
Reiterating the use of people as counters
It's so nice to know we
Expressing satisfaction in having Rand as an ally
Have Rand on our side
Assuring the presence of Rand as a constant
We'll always have good old Rand around
Anticipating casualties but Rand's safety
A zillion will be fried out
Suggesting a large number of casualties
But in some neat hideout
Imagining a secure hideout for Rand
Rand will be safe under ground
Emphasizing Rand's safety underground
Praise the Lord
Expressing gratitude or relief
Rand will be safe under ground
Reiterating Rand's safety underground
With a stroke of the pen
Highlighting the power of decision with a pen stroke
They can change us from men
Indicating the transformation of individuals into numbers
Into numbers that flash on thе wall
Describing the dehumanizing effect of being reduced to numbers
These brainy heroеs transform us to zeros
Attributing intelligence to those who transform people into zeros
So who gives a damn if we fall, after all
Questioning the significance of individuals falling
Who gives a damn if we fall
Repeating the question about the importance of falling
Their superior genes will be
Referring to the superiority of Rand's genetic makeup
Safe behind screens
Depicting the safety of superior genes behind screens
With the rest of our line doomed to die
Foreseeing the doom of the rest of humanity
We'll be all sorted out
Assuming that individuals will be categorized and judged
Past a shadow of doubt
Asserting certainty beyond doubt
By the all-wise electronic eye bow down
Submitting to the all-wise electronic eye
To the mighty electronic eye
Encouraging submission to the powerful electronic eye
They will rescue us all from
Expecting rescue from a fate worse than death by Rand
A fate worse than death
Highlighting the ease of rescue through a push-button
With a touch of the push-button hand
Emphasizing salvation with a single action
We'll be saved at one blow
Suggesting the designated foe as a threat
From the designated foe
Questioning who will save humanity from Rand
But who's going to save us from Rand
Expressing concern about being saved from Rand
Dear Lord who's going to save us from Rand?
Repeating the plea for salvation from Rand
