Bonus track #2

lyrics

Every strength is a weakness
Every weakness a strength
If you’ve got no interest darling
You shouldn’t work at the bank

Every friend is a stranger
Every stranger a friend
We blew up in the big bang baby
And we’re never ever going to mend

All our weakness is strength and strength is our weakness
We’ve got business in our blood and blood is running

Every tear is a rainbow
If you put it in the light
Every scream is an anthem
If it can get you through the night

One drop of stillness
Can calm any storm
You’ve been running from that power
Since the day that you were born

All our weakness is strength and strength is our weakness
We’ve got business in our blood and blood is running

So simple yet convoluted at the same time the same time
So hopeful but so polluted at the same time the same time
So derivative and yet iconic at the same time the same time
So brilliant but so moronic at the same time the same time

Weakness is strength
Freakiness is obvious
Watch what you think
Blinking can be dangerous

So simple but convoluted at the same time the same time
So hopeful yet so polluted at the same time the same time
So derivative and yet iconic at the same time the same time
So heroic but still pathetic at the same time the same time

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
