First Against The Wall lyrics translation: MEA CULPA First Against The Wall song texte and letras MEA CULPA First Against The Wall tab, paroles and testo MEA CULPA First Against The Wall Karaoke and Music Video - none yet
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 more
(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
