"What's the buzz, tell me what's a-happenin'"

lyrics

There was a time when our world was a place to live
A place to stand or to swim or fly
But sadly some tried to stand above all the rest
Now it is only a place to die oh why oh why?

Oh honey I’ll miss you
Sweet flower I can’t kiss you
We were singing in the sun
Now our time is done

What can we say
What can we do
No one to blame but me and you
We’re such fools

Weep Mama and wail Daddy
Keep falling on your knees
Our children have nothing to eat
‘Cause we feasted on greed

Do you know what I’m saying
Can you feel what I’m talking about
Is there somebody missing
Who used to be buzzing about
Body black and yellow little tiny wings
Used to take care of everything

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
What have we done
All hope has died oh bye bye

They died screaming and so will I
So close your ears and plug your eyes
Blind comfort asleep in the road
Trucks coming with a heavy load

The apple is eaten down to the core
The tree is rotten there will be no more
Our will is written feet out the door
And we’ll be forgotten evermore

Communism Toronto, Ontario

Wake up
Help people
Sing what you mean
Mean everything you sing
Your own story
With your own voice
Rock from your heart
The right song at the right time can change a mind, an election
Make or find reasons to dance beyond yourself
You may have 80 years but that is one small window
Communism is each of us offering our best to everyone
Fail and start again
Keep learning
To love
All of it ... more
