First Against The Wall Lyrics

We got summary executions all across the spectrum
We got a dialectic model that explains why someone's gotta die
On the paper they was perfect 'til the practice came along and wrecked 'em
Now someone's spilled blood red in our black and white

CHORUS
So when all the big ideas end up trampling down the small
And history's valiant struggle turns to a bloody savage brawl
Hard to left or hard to right, no matter where it falls,
When it comes to it, who's gonna be the first against the wall?

VERSE 2
I'd rather be a traitor to the revolution
Than one more soldier in a shiny uniform
'Cause ever since I learned what happened at Kronstadt
Those Trotskyists don't seem so cute no moreMea Culpa - First Against The Wall - http://motolyrics.com/mea-culpa/first-against-the-wall-lyrics.html

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE
I wouldn't trust you with a revolution,
I wouldn't trust you with a potted plant
You've got so many ways to cure my "bourgeois sentiments"
Somebody's talking 'bout extreme solutions
Well something tells me I've heard that before
I regret to say I'm not a Marxist anymore

(CHORUS)

When it comes to it, I guess I'll be the first against the wall
When it comes to it, I'll have to be the first against the wall
