I Am the Party - Million Dead

Well you can tell by the way I move my feet

that I’m a genuine insurrectionary

It’s a kinda nervous shuffle that contrasts so well

with bolsavic bravado

and you can tell by the way i raise my hand

not in a fist but a question

take out your manifestos and then put them away

I implore you to ignore every word I say

if my position as a figure on a stage implies authority

I hope my caution and my age belies

my humility and will to take my rage

and try to turn myself into a

one man land slide!

Let’s kick it off with a leafleting campaign

and follow it up with some public meetings

pressing flesh and kissing babies as I smile and promise

things are getting better

I am the party!

the apperatchik and the grey bureaocracy

I am the secret police

manufacturing a consitiuency that doesn’t answer back!

I found these words

in my bedroom

underneath, old magaznies

and I found this voice

in my record collection

distorting tapes kept analysis awake

you found this song

but you didn’t question

swallod the sleeve but did not see my tongue inside my cheek!

I am the polit-bureau

I am the velvet revolution

it’s a budapest kick on a fifty six and so!

lets all go hand in hand to the local polling station and vote for ourselves

vote for ourselves!
