Bourgeoisie Blues

Comrades People of the world We ain't got nothing to lose but the godd**n bourgeoisie blues Mr I V Lenin the Lenin of Love gonna make us feel so fine

With a hit of Socialism in the mainline

Bourgeois parliamentarianism

No way

The highest state of society

Third World debt

First World exploitation

D**n

What a society we're living in

You're right I V

Selling Third World d**gs at First World prices

They say Lenin was wrong

Who says

That's right

It's enough to give me the f**king blues

I know you're searchin' for some new sensation

'Cos I saw you with the Sugarman

You took a taste of that sweet salvation

Now you're eating out the palm of his hand

You hear some line from a song that reminds you

Of the time when you were seventeen

The memory moves you but you feel kind of confused

'Cos now money is your melody

Looks like

Temptation got a hold on you

She's eating away at your dreams

You're so hungry for that smell of money

You've been wasting away for years

Yeah you been tempted brother

You been tempted sister too

Hear you were hustling with some heavy connections

Hooked up on those dollars and dimes

You were looking for thrills and dressed up to kill

Any motherf**ker messing with your goldmine

But now you you walk the line trying to buy yourself time

With some honey-backed guarantee

But the bees they are buzzing and the flies they are humming

Round the holes in your hypocrisy

Looks like

Temptation got a hold on you

She's eating away at your dreams

You're so hungry for that smell of money

You've been wasting away for years

Temptation got a hold on you

She's eating away at your dreams

You're so hungry for that smell of money

You've been wasting away for years

Waste away now

What do we want

Bolshevik provisional government

And what kind of power

Soviet power

It's enough to give me the f**king blues

Socialism straight in the mainline

Socialism straight in the mainline

See you wastin' away now
