letra de red flag revival - marcel cartier

[intro]
yeah fear not to end of history
fear not the misery, yeah

[verse 1]
a quarter century of living end of history
congratulations, the capitalist mentality
has proved itself victorious, ain’t that what they say?
all these former communists now in disarray
is the best that we can do neo-liberal?
it appears to me the situation’s critical
throw human solidarity right out the window
no more internationalism, now the xenophobes
outright racists got control unsurpassed
’cause the center couldn’t hold, but see now in fact
the so-called democratic way of life isn’t that
not under capital, it means that marx is coming back
they hoped he’d never rise again from his grave
but as long as exploitation’s order of the day
it means that the only solution still remains
the overthrow of this barbarism that still reigns

[chorus]
they tore it down, naw!, put up the red flag
can’t you see the time is now, marx is coming back
no doubt, hold us communists liable
bring it on! it’s a red flag revival
they tore it down, naw!, put up the red flag
can’t you see the time is now, marx is coming back
no doubt, hold us communists liable
bring it on! it’s a red flag revival
[verse 2]
we doing this in the spirit of the communards
who died in paris trying to bring forward karl marx
they held the power behind barricades for two months
till the state mowed ’em down, still i got a hunch
that the new era’s gonna be the re-birth
of that movement perfected through our research
we put theory through real life into practice
work hard to understand it and to grasp it
to be a communist the highest honour possible
the cause of the downtrodden is unstoppable
let us toast to that, let us celebrate
now’s the time that we set forth to storm the gates

[verse 3]
there’s not a chance i’m gon’ succumb to your ways
red baiting, fear mongering reactionaries
look at history, no — really look at it
don’t just swallow the system’s propagandists
there’s a reason they gotta let you think that
you can’t do better, need you to fear that
taking power into your hands, in our hands
tell me how much of this sh-t you’ll withstand
the blatant lies of no money being there for you
they cut your pension, your healthcare, what’s next for you?
or what’s next for us? i say resistance
i say a way of life that’s based on just living
i say the real definition of our liberty
more than wage slaves, masters of our destiny
that’s why a communist’s a full human being
to realize a future that’s more than a dream
[chorus]
they tore it down, naw!, put up the red flag
can’t you see the time is now, marx is coming back
no doubt, hold us communists liable
bring it on! it’s a red flag revival
they tore it down, naw!, put up the red flag
can’t you see the time is now, marx is coming back
no doubt, hold us communists liable
bring it on! it’s a red flag revival
