Luyện nghe bài hát I Was a Maoist Intellectual

I always knew that I seize the world's imagination
And show the possibilities for
I saw a nation in decay, but a solution: Permanent cultural revolution
I played my protest songs the press applauded me
Rolled out the red carpet, the Red Sea
But the petite bourgeois philistines stayed
They preferred their artists to nothing to say

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

I showed the people how they and told them it was bad
them the insanity inside the bureaucrat
And the archetypes and stereotypes that my stock in trade
Toppled all the ivory that privilege had made
Though I tried to your mind I never tried your patience
All I tried to do was to point out exploitation
But the powers that be took this to be a insult
And to help me build my personality cult

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

I left the normal world behind and living in
A between dissolution and self discipline
I burned the midnight oil to build my way of
A miner at the coal of meaning
The rich despised the songs I wrote which told the their worth
Told the shy to speak and the meek to take the earth
But my downfall came from being three things the working classes
Agitated, organized and

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

I became a doorman, I stood there on the doormat
my forgotten discs in their forgotten format
Trying to hand them out to all the stars who in
The ones who hadn't been me, who hadn't lived in vain
I gave up ideology the day I lost my
I never a publisher for my little red books
When I died the energy released by my
Was enough for re-incarnation

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