Commies Who Died

Lenin kicked the bucket at the age of 54
Might have been a stroke, might have been murdered
Kim was fat when his country was starving
He died young; a heart attack got him
Hugo Chavez rotted out with cancer
He was a commie who died

Those are commies who died, died (x4)
They’re good commies now ‘cause they died

Elena and Nicolae got a Christmas gift
Of lots of hot lead at high speed
Allende was deposed by the CIA
Pinochet took over, so that’s OK
Pinochet asked his commies if they could fly
But the commies couldn’t, and they died

Chorus

Pol Pot died in a bamboo hut
Didn’t get half of what he should have got
Beria was lucky, survived the purges
Thought he was safe, but Khrushchev got him
Yezhov went to the wall as a traitor
They’re three more commies who died

Chorus

Che was caught by the Bolivian Army
He died like a bitch, begging for mercy
Stalin died alone, screaming in pain
No-one would help him, they were too afraid
I miss you Stalin, you son-of-a-gun
You killed more commies than anyone!
