Marxist Mash

lyrics

Nothing’s hidden from those who wash the dishes.
O that water gets purple and pernicious.

If you think yr doorman doesn't know where it's at,
you forget yr doorman is not a doormat.

Think they think only the best succeed?
They know life's just a lot of lotteries.
There's no need for a meritocracy.

They know life is rigged from the start.
They know life's as crooked as a heart

But who cares what the poor people know -
Threats only come from those who got the dough.

We live in an age of mass-manufacture.
All the people are merely actors.

Now there’s always a sea of strangers,
but nobody drowning wants to be a re-arranger.

People get to be commodities too.
Seems like money decides what is true.

Nowadays, forgetting is frightening.
Meanwhile nearby the tensions are heightening.

History’s gonna be a real good friend,
Only if history ever feels it should end.

An’ I said, 'Oh, I didn’t know that
But then again, there’s only one I’ve met
An’ he just smoked my eyelids
An’ punched my cigarette' " ... more
