Bourgeoisie Blues

Temptation 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 Parliamentarian The highest state of society Third world debt, first world exploitation What a society we're living 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 Cause I saw you withe 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 Cause now money is your melody Looks like Temptations got a hold on you She's eating away at your dreams You're so hungry for that smell of money You been, wasting away for years Yeah you've been tempted brother, You been tempted sister too. Here 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 motherfucker messing with your goldmine Now you walk the line trying to buy yourself time You want a honey backed guarantee But the bees they are buzzing and the flies they are humming Round the holes in your hypocrisy Looks like Temptations got a hold on you She's eating away at your dreams You're so hungry for that smell of money You been, wasting away for years What do we want? (something about government) Larry Love: 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 See you're wasting away now See you're wasting away now See you're wasting away now --- Bourgeoisie Blues - Alabama 3
