lyrics
Radical leftist politics never sold that many cars
Radical leftist politics isn't gonna make TV stars
Come to your show for the interview
On the nightly news. Sorry dude.
Radical leftist politics isn't gonna change that much no-no
Radical leftist politics maybe it's just a crutch
For those of us who are down and out and searching for some kind of hope
We've got nothing to look forward to
Except a bright new future
With radical leftist politics
Radical leftist politics I don't know if they've done me any good
Radical leftist politics but it's not like I'm taking to the streets
So who knows maybe we should try implementing some of these ideas
Maybe we should try to take over the government
And I"m not talking about violence I'm talking about through the polls
Using laws and existing systems to improve our world
With things like universal health care, guaranteed income
No more global military aggression or economic domination
Could our collective existence get better if we used government for that purpose?
Is it possible?
Sometimes I have my doubts
And my friends they have their doubts
But we're figuring it out
Radical leftist politics what have you done for me?
Agitation and class resentment. I'm always worried
About those corporate oppressors, business types
Always pushing people like us around
They treat us like commodities
They treat us like we're worthless
They treat us like we're not even
Humans with a purpose to our lives
Beyond our labor for their dollars an hour
Well I'm worth more than that!
Tell that fat cat, whoever that is
I mean, what's wrong with a fat old cat?
You've gotta love em, you gotta hug em
Maybe put them on a diet, though
No one should eat that much all the time
No one should eat that much all the time
Radical leftist politics what have you done for me?
Radical leftist politics what have I done for you?
Matter Of Fact is my idea of punk at it's best. Melodic, loud, defiant, stupid smart, authentic, playful even when aggressive, insightful. It's just a fun record that makes me feel good about life. Eric Funn
