lyrics

Margie and the Marxist (a mini mini opera)

The Marxist:

Margie’s from somewhere in Piscataway
She clearly knows something I don’t
She’s says

Margie:

I wonder why you’ve been dreaming your life away
Pay attention do I have to hit you right upside your head

The Marxist:
That’s Margie, Margie from somewhere

----------------------

And I am a Marxist, and I don’t regret what I have to say
Why is it always pay and pay?
When business men they get away
with business crimes that ruin my day
What do you say?

Margie:

You’re just a middle class boy from Brooklyn town
a middle class boy from New York
You’re just a middle class boy from Brooklyn town


The Marxist:

No I am a Marxist, why keep all it to yourself
When food is scarce on many a shelf
You live alone with no one else
I have one and you have twelve
What do you say? (3x)

______________________________________________

Margie:

Go read a Buddhist text and be nonviolent
Maybe take up painting and you’ve gone silent
Be the one domino, that cant be tumbled
Be like a stone you know


Instrumental


The Choir: Don’t be fooled by the soul lobbyists, get the real thing (2x)

Margie:

The home in your heart is rent stabilized
We’re gonna be there a while
Til you see through that bad disguise

Get the real thing

The Marxist:

I need the real thing
_________________________________________________

My bass explodes like TNT
Oh yeah my bass explodes
I saw your face looking back at me
Oh yeah my bass explodes


Both: Like burning suns in outer space

The Marxist:

Margie’s from somewhere in Piscataway
She clearly knows something I don’t
She’s says

Margie:

I wonder why you’re here
Are you here?
