**astorian** , Clinton and Kaine will not be the ones being inaugurated, and this thread is therefore not about them. Play along or don’t play.

The more I think of it, either the Soviet anthem:
> [@](#):
>
> United forever in friendship and labour,
> Our mighty republics will ever endure.
> The Great Soviet Union will live through the ages.
> The dream of a people their fortress secure.
>
> Long live our Soviet motherland,
> Built by the people’s mighty hand.
> Long live our people, united and free.
> Strong in our friendship tried by fire.
> Long may our crimson flag inspire,
> Shining in glory for all men to see…
As an aside, wonder why the English translation rhymes?
Or perhaps the Nazi Horst-Wessel-Lied
> [@](#):
>
> The flag on high! The ranks tightly closed!
> The SA marches with quiet, steady step.
> Comrades shot by the Red Front and reactionaries
> March in spirit within our ranks.
> Comrades shot by the Red Front and reactionaries
> March in spirit within our ranks.
>
> Clear the streets for the brown battalions,
> Clear the streets for the storm division!
> Millions are looking upon the swastika full of hope,
> The day of freedom and of bread dawns!
> Millions are looking upon the swastika full of hope,
> The day of freedom and of bread dawns!
