Mao Tse Tung Said

Martin Luther King died for his love
Kennedy died talking about something
He couldn't even understand
Some kind of generalized love, and he never even backed it up
He was shot down, bullshit

Love is the only weapon with which I got to fight
I've got a hell of a lot of weapons to fight
I got my claws, I got cutlasses
I got guns, I got dynamite
I got a hell of a lot of fight

I'll fight, I'll fight, I will fight
I will fight, I will fight, I will fight
Let them hear it in the night
Yes, we'll fight, they're listening

Let the night roar, let the night roar
Because they can hear us, they know we mean it
We'll kill them if they come

Mao Tse Tung said change must come
Change must come thru the barrel of a gun
Not thru talkin' and not through waitin'
And sittin' around just contemplatin' the facts

'Cause we know what they are
So let Mao Tse Tung be your guidin' star
Pick up a gun and learn how to fight
All thru the day and all thru the night

Till come the day when the last fight's won
I want you to listen, son
'Cause Mao Tse Tung said change must come
Thru the barrel of a gun

I want you to listen, son
Change must come
Change must come thru the barrel of a gun
Mao Tse Tung said

Okay, what was the basic premise of Mao?
Mao Tse Tung said there's only one way a revolution can come

Do you know, Millie? How did Mao Tse Tung say the only way you can bring a revolution and keep it?
Where you- onliest way I think you can keep it is by being at peace and being honorable
Oh, shit, I ain't- no- being at peace? Mao Tse Tung said that?

Oh
No, no, no, no-
Wait a minute- oh
He's the head of China, he's the head of the Revolution of China
No, I'm sorry

He marched 6000 people, on the Long March
I had my mind on something else
Okay then, wha- wha- what'd he say? There only one way you can bring about a revolution for people
Only way you can- only way you can bring it on, that by- is by killing

Well, what- yes, that's okay, I'm going to let you pass it -but what'd he say?
He had a nice little phrase that everybody should know, Change only comes-
Oh
You got it, Change comes through
Through- by a barrel of gun

That's right, senior, and that's good
'Cause you by rights would have every reason to forget some things
Change must come through the barrel of gun, said Mao Tse Tung
This place would be a paradise tomorrow if every department had a supervisor with a submachine gun

Let them hear it in the night
Yes, we'll fight
Let the night roar, because they can hear us, they know we mean it
We'll kill them if they come
