Karl Marx And History

We got firecrackers & red balloons

And a street orcherstra that plays a tune

Confetti's flying in the air

A lot of people are gathered here

We got placards posters & stickers to

We got reggae music by Yabby You

We got redflags, blackflags & flag with stars

We got slogans painted on our guitars



We speak about freedom - speak about freedom

We speak about war - speak about war

We got a vision, baby - we got a vision

That we just can't ignore



It sure rains on our parade

But the wind will change the clouds will fade

A change will come eventually

So says Karl Marx and history



We got vegetarian gumbo stew

The Rockin' Pneumonia and the Punk Rock Flu

We got iko iko and stagger lee

And the junco partner's leaning against a tree

We got Emma Goldman and Chomsky too

We got things to say we got stuff to do

We got all kinds of freedom fighters gathered here

We got our friend in the corner over there drinking beer



We speak about the future - speak about the future

We speak about the past - speak about the past

We speak about a new world order - a new world order, a new world order

And we hope that we can get there fast - a new world order



It sure rains on our parade

But the wind will change the clouds will fade

A change will come eventually

So says Karl Marx and history
