Lenina Latina from Personality Politics by Commie Faggots

Well we’re living in a time when there’s not much time left
And anyone who thinks right leans to the left
And anyone who thinks straight moves not left nor right but forward
Like Robin Hood robbin’ from the rich for the poor would

One thing you gotta do is believe in your instincts
There’s never been a time when this has been different
But now has come the time for direct action
Fuck the vanguard parties and sectarian factions

Cos who’s gonna stand up? Who’s gonna speak up?
Who’s gonna drop their pants and turn the other cheek up?
And who’s gonna stand in the street and dance
And create a commune like they did in France?

But now ain’t the time to look back
Now’s the time to plan our next attack
Our grandkids will give us thanks
If we take out those banks and these tanks

‘Cos we are decent people, we are peaceful people
We’re not a nutty priest shouting lies from a steeple
And we’re not a crazy cult that hunts in packs
No we’re “the people” that humanity backs

Cos we’re the class to end all classes
C’mon it’s easy to see - you don’t need no glasses
And if we can’t do it no-one can
And no no we don’t need no angry shouty man

No

We don’t need no leader, no fancy speech reader
We don’t need no rhetorician or any other bleeder
Cos it’s we who’re gonna stand out, we who gonna speak out
And we who’re gonna help our international team out

All of this killing, all of this crime
All for big business, all of the time
But all in one moment we can turn the tide
Do you wanna go down without saying you tried?

Cos we are gonna turn the starving to surviving
And then we’re gonna turn the surviving to the thriving
Cos we’ve got a whole world of pleasures to win
And nothing to lose but boredom...
