lyrics

Is it a lie I’m telling if I believe it or a story I’m telling myself?
A higher power they’re selling if we receive it there’s a hammer that’s ringing a bell
If it’s the truth I’m telling and I can prove it how long will it stay in one place?
‘Til time and tide will collide and move it and I fall flat on my face

Whoa what you gonna do?
All waiting on you
Who you gonna be
Stand and deliver immediately

And if we all start yellin’ the truth goes to hell and then only the cruel can win
We gotta look inside to decode, stop denying the horrible shape we are in
All you need to succeed is one little seed and a truck load of manure
Oh the disease of greed has got us on our knees oh how can we find a cure

Who you fighting for?
Don’t get suckered into war
No there’s no going back
All on the attack

We all feel the pain
In a different way
We gotta help each other
Stay away from rage

We all feel the pain
In a different way
We gotta help each other
Stay awake

Pain is very sticky stuff
Try to throw it away and we all get more
Loving kindness works the same way
Give it away now don’t be afraid it can only grow

Who you fighting for?
Don’t get suckered into war
No there’s no going back
All on the attack

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
