The Last Communist - Momus

Would the last communist out

Switch off the lights

They shout as they go

Into the night

They think that it's over

Maybe it is

But I'm staying here

Alone with this promise

In my mind

It still exists

I'm the last communist

Alone in the Soviet Union

In the Soviet Union

There's a light switch on the wall

In the Soviet Union

And a canteen down the hall

In the Soviet Union

I make faces with a torch

In the Soviet Union

In the mirror on the

Back of the bathroom door

In the Soviet Union

Shining up the lino on the corridor floor

In the Soviet Union

Eating dead pigeons cold and raw

In the Soviet Union

Drinking vodka through a straw

In the Soviet Union

Weeping for the visions Lenin saw

I like it here

I like it fine

The radiator's warm

The bus is on time

And healthcare is free

A job is for life

The caretaker is me

I'm switching on the lights

In my mind

It will exist

I'm the first communist

Alive in the Soviet Union

In the world of freedom

You lived a long time ago

In the world of freedom

You filled your shoes with six black toes

In the world of freedom

You rode to work on a big skateboard

In the world of freedom

And swiped your celery barcode

In the world of freedom

Exploding filippino washing machines

In the world of freedom

Your sinister servants watch TV

In the world of freedom

You shake our palm trees violently

In the world of freedom

Until the coconuts fill your plastic tray

In the world of freedom

You're writing up the budget and

You're purchasing supplies

In the world of freedom

It's always someone else's turn to die

In the world of freedom

You're launching major missile strikes

On the Soviet Union

In the world of freedom

To prove you'll never drink Zamzam cola

In the world of freedom

The car protecting your child is killing mine

In the world of freedom

You're blinded by the headlights

On the autobahn

In the world of freedom

A chimp made off with your sports jacket boy

In the world of freedom

Your king is a monkey and a mongoloid

Today I'm alone

The war hasn't even begun

But your king hasn't won

One day you'll come

It's so clear

Our future's here

I am just the caretaker

All is forgiven

Come back communism
