(Verse 1)
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a world where capitalism runs wild and free
Open your eyes, comrades, look up to the skies and see
I'm just a socialist, I need no bourgeoisie sympathy
(Pre-Chorus)
Because I'm easy come, easy go, sharing wealth, sharing woes
Any way the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me
(Chorus)
Mama, just killed the profit, put my hammer against its head
Pulled the trigger, now it's dead
Mama, capitalism had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
(Verse 2)
Mama, ooh, didn't mean to make them cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if class struggle really matters
(Pre-Chorus)
Too late, my time has come
Sent shivers down the bourgeoisie spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye, everyone, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
(Chorus)
Mama, ooh, I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been a capitalist at all
(Guitar Solo)
(Verse 3)
I see a little silhouetto of a planned economy
Comrades, comrades, will you do the redistribution dance?
Thunderbolts and lightning, very, very frightening me
Karl Marx, Karl Marx
Karl Marx, Karl Marx
Karl Marx, collectivize
(Verse 4)
I'm just a poor worker, nobody loves me
He's just a poor worker from a proletarian family
Spare him his life from this bourgeoisie monstrosity
(Chorus)
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go
(Let me go)(Never) Never let you go
(Let me go) (Never) let you go (Let me go) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me
(Verse 5)
So you think you can stop me and spit on my creed?
So you think you can love greed and leave me to bleed?
Oh, comrades, can't do this to me, comrades
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here
(Chorus)
(Verse 6)
Nothing really matters, anyone can see
Nothing really matters, nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows...
