I think you guys need to listen carefully to the lyrics. This song is a satire about how despotic authoritarians traditionally abuse everyone else around them, and how they will be rewarded their ultimate comeuppance. The lyrics are printed right here on the Bandcamp website in case you need help with this. I was attempting to write lyrics that are timeless, not scatological. Did I succeed?

lyrics
TAKE A SHIT ON ME
Take a shit on me
Take a shit on me
I won't be free
Until you torture me
And stomp me down
Into the ground
Take a shit on me
Take a shit on me
Why don't you kick my ass?
Why don't you kick my ass?
Come on and kick my ass
All across the yard
To show the world
You're the man in charge
Come on and kick my ass
Why don't you kick my ass?
All the tyrants of the world
Always kill us every day
We gotta rise on up
And blast them down
And feed their bloody corpses
To our starving dogs
Come on and torture me
Why don't you torture me?
Come on and torture me
In your dungeon cell
As I writhe and bleed
In your despot's Hell
Come on and torture me
Why don't you torture me?
All the tyrants of the world
Always kill us every day
We gotta rise on up
And blast them down
And feed their bloody corpses
To our starving dogs
