The Communists are Out to Get You

The Communists are Out to Get You

The communists are out to get you, my dear.
So much nonsense from the right wing.
In reality, there are no communists left.
Paranoia fills us with fear.

Watching the news blather on need a beer.
Communism is not a thing.
America is not center-left.
The right-wing continues to sneer.

Thinking we must make everything clear.
The right wing continues to fling.
America shifting from right to left.
Let's try to make it a great year.

The communists are out to get you, my dear.
So much nonsense from the right wing.
In reality, there are no communists.
Paranoia fills us with fear.
