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 in decay, but also a solution: Permanent cultural revolution
Whenever I played my protest the press applauded me
Rolled out the red carpet, the Red Sea
But the bourgeois philistines stayed away
preferred their artists to have nothing to say

How did I pass my on earth? Now it can be revealed:
I was a Maoist in the entertainment field

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

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

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

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

I became a hotel doorman, I stood on the doormat
my forgotten discs in their forgotten format
Trying to hand out to all the stars who sauntered in
The ones who hadn't been me, who hadn't lived in vain
I gave up the day I lost my looks
I found a publisher for my little red books
When I died the energy released by my
Was nearly for re-incarnation

But if I could live my life again the thing that I'd be
Is a Maoist in the music industry
No, if I live my life again I think I'd like to be
The man whose job is to stop the men who think 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!
