Red Rum! Red Vodka! or Mmmmm... that's good cynicism

[jdubbs530]

I have this commie friend who I was having a disccussion with. Well I have was having the discussion he was name calling and being dissmissive, ya know cause they know better and you're just a big dupe. So i posted a comment on his myspace page that was harmless enough related to our talk and in true commie fascism errr... fashion he pulled the comment on his page I left cause it didn't fall along party lines. So I improvised this little ditty and left it on his page. Maybe I have a calling as a protest singer?

In celebration of the marketplace of ideas, I submit
this little Phil Ochs via John Prine inspired folk song, its a
cautionary tale. I know it needs some work, but not
bad if I do say so myself for off the cuff:

VERSE
We’re the children of the bourgeoisie and the intellectual class
We’ll use the workers to our own ends and then we'll kick their ass
So come on join the Great Leap Forward, be careful not to fall
Grab your favorite spray can and paint slogans on the wall

REFRAIN
Red lies! Red lies! We’ll promise you the skies!
We’ll take power in a plot and then deliver not!
Red lies! Red lies! It’s us you won’t deny
It’s for your own good because we’re smarter then you guys!

VERSE
We got a Five Year Plan that is unlike any other
It involves forced labor in Siberia and turning in your mother
So grab your hammer and your sickle and knock down that church steeple
Be sure that you’re on board or are you an enemy of the people

REFRAIN

VERSE
Everyones come to the Party, Stalin and Mao are looking hot
Over there is comrade Lenin and look he’s brought Pol Pot!
So pass the chips and dip because they won’t last very long
Once we free you from your chains we got a new set for you to try on.

REFRAIN
