We got firecrackers & red balloons
And a street orcherstra that plays a tune
Confetti's flying in the air
A lot of people are gathered here
We got placards posters & stickers to
We got reggae music by Yabby You
We got redflags, blackflags & flag with stars
We got slogans painted on our guitars
We speak about freedom - speak about freedom
We speak about war - speak about war
We got a vision, baby - we got a vision
That we just can't ignore
It sure rains on our parade
But the wind will change the clouds will fade
A change will come eventually
So says Karl Marx and history
We got vegetarian gumbo stew
The Rockin' Pneumonia and the Punk Rock Flu
We got iko iko and stagger lee
And the junco partner's leaning against a tree
We got Emma Goldman and Chomsky too
We got things to say we got stuff to do
We got all kinds of freedom fighters gathered here
We got our friend in the corner over there drinking beer
We speak about the future - speak about the future
We speak about the past - speak about the past
We speak about a new world order - a new world order, a new world order
And we hope that we can get there fast - a new world order
It sure rains on our parade
But the wind will change the clouds will fade
A change will come eventually
So says Karl Marx and history
Karl Marx and history
Karl Marx and history
Karl Marx and history
Karl Marx and history
Karl Marx and history
Karl Marx and history
Karl Marx and history
So says Karl Marx and history
