Poem: The Joker

Some people call me the militant, yeah.

Some call me the gangster of t'cause .

Some people call me Joseph,

Cause I speak of the pompetous cause.

People talk about me, comrade

Say I'm doin' you wrong, doin' you wrong.

But don't you worry comrade, don't worry,

'Cause I'm right here, right here, right here at war.

Cause I'm a fighter,

I'm a winner,

Getting redder,

Still a sinner,

Playing propaganda in the sun.

I'm a fighter,

I'm a smoker,

I'm a facial-hair grower,

I fight the cause on the run.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

You're the biggest fascist I ever did see,

'Cause I'm against your thoughts on free-market policy,

Fighty-wighty, fighty-wighty, fighty-wighty all the time,

Ooh wee comrade, I'll lock you up for a long time.

Cause I'm a fighter,

An oppressor,

Getting redder,

Still a sinner,

Playing propaganda in the sun.

I'm a fighter,

I'm a smoker,

I'm a big book burner,

I sure don't wan'a hurt no-one.

People keep talking about me comerade,

Say I'm dictating to you.

Well don't you worry, don't worry, no don't worry, mama ,

Just don't do something I wouldn't do.

You're the most fascist thing I did ever see,

You're in the free media, speaking against me.

Oppressy-wessy, 'pressy-wessy, 'pressy-wessy all the time,

Come on comrade, I'll show you a good time.
