KONX OM PAX

While, on the other hand:

St. Paul spoke up on the Hill of Mars To the empty-headed Athenians;But I would rather talk to the stars Than to empty-headed Athenians.It's only too easy to form a cult,To cry a crusade with "Deus Vult"—But you won't get much of a good result From empty-headed Athenians.
The people of London much resemble Those empty-headed Athenians.I could very easily make them tremble, Those empty-headed Athenians.A pinch of Bible, a gallon of gas,And I, or any otherguess ass,Could bring to our mystical moonlight mass Those empty-headed Athenians.
In fine, I have precious little use For empty-headed Athenians.The birds I have snared shall all go loose; They are empty-headed Athenians.I thought perhaps I might do some good;But it's ten to one if I ever should—And I doubt if I would save, if I could, Such empty-headed Athenians.
So (with any luck) I shall bid farewell To the empty-headed Athenians.For me, they may all of them go to hell, For empty-headed Athenians.I hate your idiot jolts and jars,You monkeys grinning behind your bars—I'm more at home with the winds and the stars Than with empty-headed Athenians.
