    St. Zita,pray for us,
    So we’ll get to Heaven
    Without a fuss!

    Syf was your name origonally
    Till you took service in the House of di Fatinelli.
    Syf they christened you in your hometown.
    In Lucca you lost your name and gained renoun.

    St. Zita,pray for us,
    So we’ll get to Heaven
    Without a fuss!

    In the Italy of your day
    When girlchildren went out to play
    At their innocent childlike games
    Folks added “Zita” to their names.

    St. Zita,pray for us,
    So we’ll get to Heaven
    Without a fuss!

    In the di Fatinelli House they showered you with blame.
    They never called you “Sif” Or “Sifzita”,
    Only Zita as if you had no name-
    As if you were “Noone” or “Nobodyzita”.

    St. Zita,pray for us,
    So we’ll get to Heaven
    Without a fuss!

    It’s such a pity
    You lost your name in the City
    Of Lucca where you found a job
    Under conditions that tempted anyone to sob!
    Would tempt anyone to kill,to rob!

    St. Zita,pray for us,
    So we’ll get to Heaven
    Without a fuss!

    It was Nobodyzita do this!
    Noonezita do that!
    Your ignorance is a bottomless abyss,
    You illiterate hick! You Scullian brat!

    St. Zita,pray for us,
    So we’ll get to Heaven
    Without a fuss!

    Now great folk pray to you,
    Name their daughters Zita
    with no great ado ,
    Light candles to you too!

    St. Zita,pray for us,
    So we’ll get to Heaven
    Without a fuss!

    We don’t say “St. Zita of Lucca”,
    But rather “Lucca,St.Zita’s city.”
    Where she led a hard but holy life,
    As we request not offer pity.

    St. Zita,pray for us,
    So we’ll get to Heaven
    Without a fuss!

    1. @Jim R @Jim Rains The vast majority that peak in the music industry are either of parasite class lineage or compromised and contracted whilst their underlying messages are often cleverly tavistocked to socially engineer the mass consciousness toward the path of nihilism, narcissism, violence and general moral degradation.
      This fact has been illuminated and emphasized in ’21 by the “celebrities” gunning for the great reset and pretending to take the graphene oxide gene therapy with model number. Their priorities are eugenics and control, not profit.

    2. @Sanskritic
      Gods morons like you are not subversive, you are the willing ponds of fascists who try to go to some past that never existed, which inevitably leads back to where we started, your conspiracism is nothing new, it been around since the black death with conspiracies of jews, had an uptick in reaction to the french and American revolution, willing pawns of monarchs who believed their right divine, and you were the bludgeon that was used to crush every peoples movement.

      Your delusional, and your conspiracism coopted by the very elites you claim to be against. And you follow willingly

    3. @OzzietheFree The greatest of conspiracies has been laid bare for all to see, for those who possess an iota of discernment.
      There’s no shame in developing a conscious awareness of machinations of a control system that seeks to subjugate, in fact, it’s now imperative that the semi-cognisant sweep the web from the brow of their critical thought to allow the uncomfortable truth to guide them away from further psychological manipulation doled out by those who rule.
      Your conspiracism-phobia is the barrier to melting the illusion built for the distracted masses over generations, the stage show that is misconceived as natural societal development. The curtain is down, turn away if induces fear.

      The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion.
      At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theatre. ~ Frank Zappa

  2. Revolution won’t come from some noble vanguard leading the “common” people. Revolution comes when everyone realize their value as an individual, when everyone realizes they are more than numbers on some corporate or state logs. And most of all when everyone has the humility to accept that they are never done developing, that they never truly found the “right” way, only then can we truly create a society of liberty, equality, and fraternity.

    1. Will you be willing to hold the banner, Austin? I believe!
      I believe in a world where people value compassion above all else. Can you imagine the bliss? Hard to realise without the help of a messiah or something haha. Or perhaps just a mortal hero. Someone needs to lead the change, anyway. Someone very good. Much better than the heads of the French revolution.
      Humility and compassion: the keys to opening haven on earth. Not difficult.
