Текст песни: The Communist + перевод

i know you think my head’s full of ideas

but darling will you please lend me your ears

i’ll lay them out in a song for you

though both of us know they’re not really true

they’re fading like shadows in the cave

fickle like promises i’ve made

fated never to exist

they’re the empty dreams of the communist

my manifesto’s radical i swear

cobblestones will fly through the air

i hear you sigh so disingenuously

oh i know what you’re thinking sweet marie

they’re fading like shadows in the cave

fickle like promises i’ve made

fated never to exist

they’re the empty dreams of the communist

believe me, now i can take the flak

an idealist with a guitar on his back

now i know how pathetic i must seem

but listen now, the bell it tolls for thee

now darling, i know you don’t give a fuck

and i know it’s high time that i gave up

we thought the old brigades could reunite

not even you and i could get it right

we’re fading like shadows in the cave

fickle like promises i’ve made

fated never to exist

like the empty dreams of the communist
