Mao Tse Tung Said
(专辑: Exile On Coldharbour Lane - 1997)
"Don't ever say hate is your enemy. Love has practically caused me to just get you destroyed. If I
had hated a
little more, just a
little more, we would have had a
little less trouble. Sure you got love. Principles! But don't say 'hate is my enemy', what'd they say, what's that words? "Hate is my enemy and I've got to fight it day and night" and "what else is death" is the
line. Love is the
only weapon, SHIT. BULLSHIT! Martin Luther King died with love! Kennedy died talking about something he couldn't even understand, some kind of generalized love, and he never even backed it up! He was shot down! Bullshit, "Love is the
only weapon with which I
got to fight." I've got a
hell of a
lot of weapons to fight! I
got my claws, I
got cutlasses, I
got guns, I
got dynamite, I
got a
hell of a
lot of fight! I'll fight! I'll fight! I
will fight! I
will fight! I
will fight! I
will fight! Let them hear it in the
night! Yes, we'll fight! They're listening. Let the
night roar! Let the
night roar, because they can hear us, they know we mean it. We'll kill them if they come!" Mao Tse-Tung said change must come Change must come thru the
barrel of a
gun Not thru talking and not through waiting And sitting around just contemplating the
facts 'Cos we know what they are So let Mao Tse Tung be your guiding star Pick up a
gun and learn how to fight All thru the
day and all thru the
night 'Til come the
day when the
last fight's won I
want you to listen, son 'Cos Mao Tse Tung said change must come Thru the
barrel of a
gun I
want you to listen, son Change must come Change must come thru the
barrel of a
gun Mao Tse Tung said, "change must come..." Mao Tse Tung said, "change must come..." Mao Tse Tung said, "change must come..." "Change must come thru the
barrel of a
gun" Okay. What was the
basic premise of Mao? Mao Tse Tung said there's only one way a
revolution can come. Do you know, Millie? How did Mao Tse Tung say the
only way you can bring a
revolution and keep it? Where you onliest way I
think you can keep it is by being at peace and being honorable Oh, shit, I
ain't no "being at peace"? Mao Tse Tung said that? Oh No no no no Wait a
minute Oh -he's the
head of China. He's the
head of the
Revolution of China No, I'm sorry He marched 6000 people...on the
Long March I
had my mind on something else Okay then, wha wha what'd he say? There only one way you can bring about a
revolution for people Only way you can only way you can bring it on, that by is by killing Well, what yes, that's okay, I'm going to let you pass it -but what'd he say? He had a
nice little phrase that everybody should know. "Change only comes" Oh You got it. "Change comes through..." "through by a
barrel of gun" That's right, senior. And that's good. Cause you, by rights, would have every reason to forget some things. "Change must come through the
barrel of gun," said Mao Tse Tung. This place would be a
paradise tomorrow if every department had a
supervisor with a
sub machine gun Let them hear it in the
night! Yes, we'll fight! Let the
night roar, because they can hear us, they know we mean it. We'll kill them if they come! Mao Tse Tung said Change must come Mao Tse Tung said Change must come Mao Tse Tung said Change must come Change must come through the
barrel of a
gun
