[Horns]
[Verse 1]
Comrades gathering round, listening to the Party Line
But deep down inside we know that this ain't much of a crime
They tell us what to think, how to vote, what to say
But our hearts belong elsewhere where life is here today
[Chorus]
Ohh-ohh! Communism's so dull
With rules that make your eyes glaze over like a lifeless wall
Yeah, it may last for decades but passion never will
So let's dance away these gray days with the ska music thrill
Yeah-yeh!
[Verse 2]
The bosses sit in high towers counting profits every day
While we work ourselves to exhaustion just trying to keep things at bay
But no more! We won't be silenced by their empty promises
Here comes the revolution led by rhythms that caress us
[Chorus]
Ohh-ohh! Time for change has come
Ska band risin' up against oppression, it's fun!
It doesn't matter if they don't agree with what we say
As long as we stand together and dance our troubles away
Yes-yes-yesh!
[Breakdown]
Guitar chords strumming fast as trumpet takes flight
Bass pounding in the background while drummer leads the fight
The beat goes on as voices rise above the fray
In search of something real, a cause worth staying for
[Verse 3]
We march through the streets, skankin' side by side
With hope in our hearts and ska as our guide
No more gray days, no more lies to be told
Together we'll fight with a spirit so bold
[Chorus]
Ohh-ohh! Communism's so dull
With rules that make your eyes glaze over like a lifeless wall
Yeah, it may last for decades but passion never will
So let's dance away these gray days with the ska music thrill
Yeah-yeh!
[Bridge]
From the factories to the fields, our music will resound
Breaking down the walls, freedom will be found
With every skank and every beat, we'll reclaim our voice
In this dance of liberation, we all have a choice
[Chorus]
Ohh-ohh! Time for change has come
Ska band risin' up against oppression, it's fun!
It doesn't matter if they don't agree with what we say
As long as we stand together and dance our troubles away
Yes-yes-yesh!
[Outro]
So raise your fists and join the dance, let the music play
For in the skankin' revolution, we'll find a brighter day
With unity and ska, we'll break free from the grind
Together we'll build a future, leaving the past behind
