Greetings:

For all those who enjoy ganging up on Janice, I offer the following anthem for the musical left.

--- Steve


LET'S FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT AGAINST EACH OTHER!

Music: Tramp, Tramp, Tramp by George F. Root (Same tune as God Save Ireland and Fight for Liberation and Are You Busy, Fellow Workers?)

New words: Stephen L. Suffet © 2002

In a world that's gone berserk,
Where every theocratic jerk,
Invokes some holy name to sell a cause,
Where the prophets, like of old,
Meet the profits, like of gold,
And hand in hand they bring us holy wars!

But ...

Let's fight, fight, fight against each other,
Down with social democrats!
Make the liberals in cahoots,
With the fascists lick our boots,
And drive away those Zionistic rats!

In a bleak morass we sit,
Covered up in Ashcroft's shit,
While the Bill of Rights is shredded to a pulp,
Where corporate rape and plunder,
Leave our planet six feet under,
Soon they'll sell us air at fifty cents a gulp!

But...

Let's fight, fight, fight against each other,
Down with all the slightly pinks!
Make that wishy-washy crowd,
Cry "Uncle!" right out loud,
And admit they're just a bunch of right wing finks!

Papa Marx he had a dream,
But it's broken, it would seem,
Yet I hear his dream-like words come once again:
Working people, let's unite,
For our freedom we shall fight,
We'll lose these chains, we have a world to win!

But...

Let's fight, fight, fight against each other,
Down with the imperialist lackey swine!
And if you ever voice a thought,
That I clearly can't support,
Then you better leave, because the Truth is mine!
