Stalin wrote the book on Marx
Lenin played guitar
The Kremlin manufacturing
Right-wing superstars
Come over all anarchic
With a spray can in your hand
Adorn the bricks with politics
"Revolution!" you command
We both know you're not really tough
It's just something you learnt from a book
Put the hammer down
You fickle swine! You fickle swine!
Now's not the time
Make up your mind
There's little time, little time
Put the hammer down you fickle swine
Idolising silk-screen prints
Makes you a socialist
Having faith in a government
Makes you an apathist
Rally forth the master race
For a nuclear play fight
Wing yourself from right to left
Back again left to right
We both know you're not really tough
It's just something you learnt from a book
Put the hammer down
You fickle swine! You fickle swine!
Now's not the time
Make up your mind
There's little time, little time
Put the hammer down you fickle swine
