We’re One in the Same - 'I am a Communist'

We’re One in the Same - ‘I am a Communist’
By Ron Peacock

I keep Mao’s little red book in the back of my jeans,
Preach utopia but don’t know what it means.
Lenin and Marx are men I wish I had known
But they were all gone before I was born

Chorus
I am a liberal,
a free thinker.
I am progressive
I am a socialist
I am a communist

I lie, I cheat, I revise history
and the “useful idiots”, they all follow me.
I sue, I protest and peace songs I write
to weaken your mind and steal your will to fight

Chorus
I am a liberal,
a free thinker.
I am progressive
I am a socialist
I am a communist

Bridge:
For the needs of the many,
I take all that you own;
You’ll get a ten by ten room that you can call home

And your Bill of Rights is all I need
to pervert and distort your liberty.
In the guise of freedom I’ll take it from you
Yeah, me and my comrades in the A-C-L-U

Chorus
I am a liberal,
a free thinker.
I am progressive
I am a socialist
I am a communist

Yeah, we’re one in the same
it’s all a word game
cause a rose is a rose no matter what the name.

I am a liberal,
a free thinker.
I am progressive
I am a socialist
-comrade-
I am a communist!
