Luyện nghe bài hát I Was a Maoist Intellectual

I always knew that I could seize the imagination
And show the for transformation
I saw a nation in decay, but also a solution: Permanent cultural
Whenever I played my protest songs the press me
Rolled out the red carpet, the Red Sea
But the petite bourgeois philistines away
They their artists to have nothing to say

How did I pass my time on earth? Now it can be
I was a Maoist intellectual in the entertainment

I the people how they lived and told them it was bad
Showed them the inside the bureaucrat
And the archetypes and stereotypes were my stock in trade
Toppled all the ivory towers privilege had made
I tried to change your mind I never tried your patience
All I tried to do was to point out your
But the powers that be took this to be a personal
And refused to me build my personality cult

How did I pass my time an earth, what on earth got me?
I was a Maoist intellectual in the industry

I the normal world behind and started living in
A hinterland between dissolution and self
I burned the oil to build my way of seeing
A miner at the coal of meaning
The rich despised the songs I which told the poor their worth
Told the shy to speak and told the to take the earth
But my downfall came from being things the working classes hated:
Agitated, and over-educated

How did I pass my on earth, how did I bear witness?
As a intellectual in the entertainment business
And how was I treated in this world and in this
As a Maoist in a business would be

I became a doorman, I stood there on the doormat
Clutching my forgotten discs in their format
Trying to hand them out to all the stars who in
The who hadn't been like me, who hadn't lived in vain
I up ideology the day I lost my looks
I never found a for my little red books
When I died the energy by my frustration
Was nearly enough for

But if I could live my life again the last thing I'd be
Is a intellectual in the music industry
No, if I could live my life again I think I'd to be
The man whose job is to stop the men who like me
Yeah! If l could my life again that'd be the thing to be
The man who the stumbling blocks
In the lives of the of me!
