Ice Cream Socialism

from 79 Songs Project by The Bassturd

/

lyrics

THIS EXPERIMENT IN CAPITALISM
LEFT US WITH A BROKEN SYSTEM
SOME AMONG US SHARED A VISION
FOR A UNIQUE BRAND OF SOCIALISM
GIVEN THE MESS WE HAD CREATED
ENERGY PRICES WERE GREATLY INFLATED
AND AS A RESULT MANY PEOPLE WENT BROKE
WITHOUT MEANS TO BUY THINGS THE ECONOMY CHOKED
AND THEN A CHAIN REACTION WAS SET IN MOTION
WHICH QUICKLY LED TO THE WIDESPREAD NOTION
THAT WE'D BEEN SOLD OUT BY THE POWERS THAT BE
ROBBED BLIND BLATANTLY BY THE EXTREMELY WEALTHY
WITH FEW OPTIONS LEFT AT OUR DISPOSAL
WE HELD A GIANT ICE CREAM SOCIAL
TO DISCUSS MEANS BY WHICH TO PROCEED
AND THUS WE HAD PLANTED THE SEED
FOR A SYSTEM OF TRADE BUILT UPON A DESERT
WHERE EVERYDAY WHEN WE'RE FINISHED WITH WORK
OUR REWARD IS IN THE FORM OF AN ICE CREAM SUNDAE
TOPPED WITH WALNUTS, SPRINKLES, AND A CHERRY
NOW EVERYONE IS MERRY - NOBODY COMPLAINS
SO FOR NOW IT SEEMS HARMONY SHALL BE SUSTAINED
SINCE WE'VE ELECTED TO LIVE UNDER A SYSTEM
OF ICE CREAM SOCIALISM

(CHORUS)
I SCREAM - YOU SCREAM -
ICE CREAM SOCIALISM
(REPEAT)
