The People's Cube - Political Satire

Music: Helen Reddy
Lyrics: IntheHeatoftheRight



I am vic-tim, hear me ro-ar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too many others doing well
Cause I've seen 'em buying houses
Oh those di-rty, stin-ky lou-ses
How I hope those ev-il ba s tards bu-rn in hell

Oh yes I'm a Dem
And I'll only vote for them!
Yes, I want success
But I rather you had less
If I have to, I'll take soci-alism
I am we-ak
I am defeated (defeated)
I am vic-tim!

You can help but never save me
'cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even weaker
I'm a real nihilism seeker
'cause I really don't believe I have a so-ul.

Oh yes I'm a Dem
And I'll only vote for them!
Yes, I want success
But I rather you had less
If I have to, I'll take socialism
I am we-ak
I am defeated (defeated)
I am vic-tim!

When I first heard this song in 1972 I thought the second line was,

"With numbers too big to ignore."

Kind of changes the entire outlook on the bra-burning movement. So to speak.

Great lyrics, by the way. Good job IntheHeatoftheRight.

Comrades,

I can feel my inner victim sing of its truth and power, and it feels good, in an oppressed and exploited sort of way.
