Bourgeoisie Blues - A3

Comrades, people of the world

We ain’t got nothing to lose

Got them Bourgeoisie Blues

Mr. IV Lenin, Lenin of love

Gonna make us feel so fine

With a hit of socialism in the mainline

Bourgeois Parlimentarianism

The highest state of society

Third world debt, first world exploitation

What a society we’re livin' in

Sellin' third world drugs at first world prices

They say Lenin was wrong, who says?

It’s enough to give me the fucking blues

I know you’re searching for some new sensation

'Coz I saw you with the sugar man

You took a taste of that sweet salvation

Now you’re eatin' out the palm of his hand

You hear some line from a song that reminds you

Of a time when you were seventeen

The memory moves ya but ya feel kinda confused

'Coz now money is your melody

Looks like temptation’s got a hold on you

She’s eatin' away at your dreams

You’re so hungry for that smell of money

You been wastin' away for years

Yeah, you’ve been tempted, brother

You been tempted, sister, too

Here you were hustlin' with some heavy connections

Hooked up on those dollars and dimes

You were looking for thrills and dressed up to kill

Any motherfucker messin' with your goldmine

Now you walk the line tryin to buy yourself time

You want a honey backed guarantee

But the bees they are buzzin' and the flies they are hummin'

Round the holes in your hypocrisy

Looks like temptation’s got a hold on you

She’s eatin' away at your dreams

You’re so hungry for that smell of money

You been wastin' away for years

What do we want?

(Something about government)

And what kinda power?

Soviet power, it’s enough to give me the fucking blues

Socialism, straight in the mainline

See you’re wasting away now

Socialism, straight in the mainline

See you’re wasting away now

Socialism, straight in the mainline

See you’re wasting away now
