Frenzy by The Ex (Punk Band) Lyrics

Let me tell you about Karl Marx
A visionary fish in a pool of sharks
He was a funny guy
I don't have to tell you why
His one-liners were the best
Like the one in the past
About the Casablanca Manifest

For that night, a woman she came
And she went away
To warn some others
To warn her brothers
But Karl just said: "hey F-word off
I know you guys up to your eyes
I know that you F-word your mothers"

He was really quite a laugh
I just couldn't get enough
I saw all his movies one by one
They were thought-provoking
Like a gun that's smoking
And I'm not joking
But this son of a gun
Had only just begun
To have some fun
And don't forget about the book he wrote
With plenty of "workers, you'll get fired" scenes
Hello you must be going
If you know what that means
People used to laugh their heads off loud
Just like in the gay old times
With them good old guillotines

And then there's Groucho, a serious bloke
Who never told a single joke
He had a beard that might seem weird
But he sure wasn't shy as he cast the die
For he told the bosses: "you bet your lie"

Let's put things in hysterical perspective
To make my remarks a bit more effective
For those were the days
And the days took a hike
When the West would insist
On a sit-down strike

For the stand-up communist
Not columnist, economist, but communist
Not chameleon, comedian but communist

Well that's not arty-farty
That's when Lenin met McCarthy
And this, as far as I can see
Was the beginning of a beautiful frenzy
The beginning of a beautiful frenzy
