Malkioni Scriptures

They think we are scholars, they think we are twits,
Irrippi, Irrippi is on tour.
But we live life as students, with knowledge and wits,
Irrippi, Irrippi is on tour.
No rising in mornings and running for miles,
but an hour’s worth of lectures
and a night on the tiles;
no criminal justice and punishment trails.
Irrippi, Irrippi is on tour.

They think we are weaklings, but really we’re smart,
Irrippi, Irrippi is on tour.
But what they don’t know is we’ve got a head start,
Irrippi, Irrippi is on tour.
For in cavernous dungeons we’ve acres of files
on their lives and their children,
all stacked in neat aisles;
We know the deceptions that hide behind smiles.
Irrippi, Irrippi is on tour.

We’re movers and shakers, and not the mere pawns,
Irrippi, Irrippi is on tour.
Unlike those we send out to battle the storms,
Irrippi, Irrippi is on tour.
We’ve the greatest respect now for justice and truth
but knowledge is power,
and not so uncouth
as the thieving and fighting corrupting our youth.
Irrippi, Irrippi is on tour.
