Now these guys, these guys are AWESOME. Most fun political band ever, they also did the opening track for The Sopranos which is the song you're most likely to know. Check out these lyrics;
Bourgeoisie Blues
temptation
temptation
comrades, people of the world
temptation
we ain't got nothin to lose
temptation
but the goddamn bourgeoisie blues
temptation
Mr. I.V. Lenin ... the Lenin of love
temptation
gonna make us feel so fine with a hit
temptation
of socialism ... in the mainline...
temptation
Bourgeoisie parlimentarianism (no way)
the highest state of society?
third world debt?
third world exploitation? (damn)
what a society we�re living in (you're right I.V.)
selling third world drugs at first world prices!
they say Lenin was wrong...
Who says? (that's right now!)
it's enough to give me the fucking blues
i know you're searchin for some new sensation cause I saw you with the sugar man
you took a taste of that sweet salvation now you're eating out the palm of his hand
you hear some line from a song that reminds you of the time when you were seventeen
the memory moves you but you feel kinda confused 'cause now money is your melody
looks like
temptation got a hold on you
she's eating away at your dreams
you're so hungry for that smell of money
you been wastin away for years
tempation
yeah, you been tempted brother
you been tempted sister, too
hear you were hustlin with some heavy connections
hooked up on those dollars and dimes
you were looking for thrills and dressed up to kill
any motherfucker messin with your goldmine
but now you, you walk the line tryin to buy yourself time
with some honey backed guarantee
but the bees they arent buzzin
and the flies they are hummin
around the holes in your hypocracy
looks like
temptation got a hold on you
she's eating away at your dreams
you're so hungry for that smell of money
you been wastin away for years
tempation
temptation got a hold on you
she's eating away at your dreams
and i tell ya
you're so hungry for that smell of money
you been wastin away for years
temptation
waste away now
temptation got a hold on you
temptation got a hold on you
what do we want?
more power to (???????)
and what kinda power?
soviet power.......
temptation
temptation
it's enough to give me the fucking blues!

Mao Tse-Tung Said
Don't let me hear you say hate is your enemy...love is practically causing me to get you destroyed! If I had hated a little more...just a little more...we would have had a little extra. Sure you got love...principles! But don't say, hate is my enemy, what's that saying, what's those words..."hate is my enemy i gotta fight it day and night, love is the only weapon"....
SHIT! BUUUUUUUULLSHIT! Martin Luther King died for his love! Kennedy died talking about something he couldn't even understand, some kind of generalized love, and he never even backed it up! He was shot down! Bullshit, “Love is the only weapon with which I got to fight”. I've got a hell of a lot of weapons to fight! I got my claws, I got cutlasses, I got guns, I got dynamite, I got a hell of a lot of fight! I'll fight! I'll fight! I will fight! I will fight! I will fight! I will fight!
Let them hear it in the night! Yes, we’ll fight! They’re listening. Let the night roar! Let the night roar, because they can hear us, they know we mean it. We’ll kill them if they come!
Mao Tse Tung said change must come
Change must come thru the barrel of a gun
Not thru talkin' and not through waitin'
And sittin' around just contemplatin' the facts
'Cos we know what they are
So let Mao Tse Tung be your guidin' star
Pick up a gun and learn how to fight
All thru the day and all thru the night
'Til come the day when the last fight's won
I want you to listen, son
'Cos Mao Tse Tung said change must come
Thru the barrel of a gun
I want you to listen, son
Listen, son
Cos change must come
Change must come thru the barrel of a gun
Mao Tse Tung said

"Okay. What was the basic premise of Mao? Mao Tse Tung said there’s only one way a revolution can come. Do you know, Millie? How did Mao Tse Tung say the only way you can bring a revolution and keep it?"
"Where you— onliest way I think you can keep it is by being at peace and being honorable."
"Oh, shit, I ain’t— no— “being at peace”? Mao Tse Tung said that? "
"Oh—"
"No no no no—"
"Wait a minute— Oh—"
"—he’s the head of China. He’s the head of the Revolution of China. "
"No, I’m sorry."
"He marched 6000 people…on the Long March."
"I had my mind on something else. "
"Okay then, wha— wha— what’d he say? There only one way you can bring about a revolution for people. "
"Only way you can— only way you can bring it on, that by— is by killing. "
"Well, what— yes, that’s okay, I’m going to let you pass it —but what’d he say? He had a nice little phrase that everybody should know. 'Change only comes—' "
"Oh—"
"You got it. 'Change comes through…'"
“—through— the barrel of gun.”
"That’s right, senior. And that’s good. Cos you by rights would have every reason to forget some things. 'Change must come through the barrel of gun,' said Mao Tse Tung. This place would be a paradise tomorrow if every department had a supervisor with a submachine gun. "
Let them hear it in the night! Yes, we’ll fight! Let the night roar, because they can hear us, they know we mean it. We’ll kill them if they come!
