The New Man and the End of Fukuyama

you talked ‘bout
history and its end
and how democracy’s our friend
and the last man

you loved the fall of
the eastern bloc
and the new doctrine of the shock
and “the death of Marx”

but then you failed, my friend,
like all before,
we know you’re just
a corporate whore, whoa whoa

chorus

‘cause when you said back in the nineties
that history had ended
you were so wrong,
Francis you were so wrong

instead of revolutionary, you’re just
old school reactionary and
you were so wrong,
Francis you were so wrong

you have become now
the over man
and we’re a mass of
“yes we can revolt”

your tired discourse
is so flawed,
and the new man
rises above
your ashes

when power comes
from down below
your people fear us
in their core

chorus

The old man Marx
and Mao Tse Tung
with Lenin dancing
in his tomb, oh yes

and if this isn’t
groovy enough
Gramsci and Trotsky
dance fox trot
oh yes

the people rise
with spirits high
and our new mankind
will survive

chorus
