At two o’clock on a sunny day, he heads out for a protest.
His weak hands grip a poster closely to his chest.

There are errors in his sentences.
Typos, I count four.
But his heart is pounding thunderously.
In his eyes he thirsts for war.

Learn from your mistakes.
It’s not too late to start.
In your heart, you want a change?
Change yourself, sweetheart.

Learn from your mistakes.
It’s not too late to start.
You want a change, baby boy?
Change yourself, sweetheart.

He just got back his history test, a big “D” stamped on top.
But someone promised him great riches, so long as he don’t stop.

The kid is just a puppet. All his life, he has lost out.
His mommy chases after him, protecting her cub scout.

Learn from your mistakes.
It’s not too late to start.
In your heart, you want a change?
Change yourself, sweetheart.

Learn from your mistakes.
It’s not too late to start.
You want a change, baby boy?
Change yourself, sweetheart.

Mistake after mistake, he’ll learn to comprehend.
But how many screwups does the kid really intend?

There’s determination in his eyes. He’ll fight. He’ll lay it down.
But come morning it’s off to school, with recess at the playground.

Learn from your mistakes.
It’s not too late to start.
In your heart, you want a change?
Change yourself, sweetheart.

Learn from your mistakes.
It’s not too late to start.
You want a change, baby boy?
Change yourself, sweetheart.

Freedom, money, girls — you’ll get it all, even power.
So, kid, stay out of politics, and give your brain a shower.

Anyone else imagine this to the tune of Piano Man?

Ah, you're thinking of "Prelude/Angry Young Man", as so:

"And there's always a place for the angry young man
With his fist in the air and his head in the sand
And he's never been able to learn from mistakes
So he can't understand why his heart always breaks
But his honor is pure and his courage as well
And he's fair and he's true and he's boring as hell
And he'll go to the grave as an angry old man"

etc etc. Billy baby, why so jaded, you reactionary old fuck.

Wow!

I like how the kid in the music video doesn't look too impressed.

Apparently, this isn't parody/tongue-in-cheek, and that's amazing. The mentality behind the lyrics are like something straight out of the Soviet Union.

Everyone in this video is hawt though.

The singer is just a hair too skinny for my tastes.


Old_Zircon - 2017-05-24

Some of the lyrics actually come pretty close to Revolution by John Lennon, oddly enough.

That's not surprising OZ.

Now this is a lady I could get behind

Slut.

Perestroika was a mistake.


Killer Joe - 2017-05-25

Status quo!
Status quo!
If you don't like it you need to go!
Back to the reeducation camps/
Take your beating and build some lamps!

Rulers are right/
or they wouldn't be rulers!
Your lack of admiration
shows you don't have a future!
It's the status quo that got us here
So back in line and give a cheer!

Authoritarian propaganda is getting smarter and smarter. In Hong Kong the communists have also started hip, intellectual looking newspapers that has normal intelligent coverage but with articles slipped in here and there celebrating totalitarianism.
