Agent of Change - I'm a Socialist lyrics

Verse 1 Let me put forth a vision, represent a school of thought Grind it out with the others for that number one spot Cause I ain't scared of reality, I'd rather just embrace it No religious views, but that don't mean that I'm faithless Hope based on rational grounds is in the people Socialism's dead? well, here's the startin' of the sequel As far as I'm concerned, it should be common sense That our current way of life ain't really life to begin with Start of human history will be the very onslaught Of the revolution, when this cla** sh**'ll stop Or maybe I should say, rather kicked into high gear Capitalist fools will be runnin' off in fear Ideas don't change the world alone, people have to do it And with the people's enemies, our struggle must be ruthless Beaten down, lied to, often feelin' tired But a single spark can start the entire uprisin' I won't ever be subservient, trust in their process Truly it's played out, it's pa**ed being monstrous First U.S. revolution was indeed progressive But quickly the star spangled banner would prove reckless Chorus I'm a socialist, more than just a theorist That means I keep it militant, the boss man's nemesis Rep the organizers, 9 to 5 grinders Homeless and the downtrodden, true freedom fighters Verse 2 Some think rebelling is itself just enough Like ideology and theory isn't relevent and such To be real though, that is paramount to our d**h A reactionary, suicidal ending to our steps In direction of full-on freedom's attainment We need it to be present for the system's arraignment The system's arrangement is not the end of the time But we need to badly figure out a way to organize Productive and effective, not just individual If we can't get it right, then life will remain critical Art is not the revolution, art can play a part As in spreading ideology, but that is just a start Cause theory without practice on par with inaction On par with some bullsh**, on par with just slackin' And we don't need no saviors, what we need are soldiers The disciplined and selfless gonna turn this system over
