Lyrics

Who's learned the language Of the Internationale?

The granma had a personnel Crazy enough to eschew Historic investments — Of which there were few Locally

Who's learned the language Of the Internationale?

Nobody's crazy enough Locally — Nor can they be In a way that Obviates pathology The crazy are consigned, then To third-world iconography

Who? What? When? How? What for? Act, agency, scene And actor Is hating something communally (It’s clear To volunteers.)

Our 'conversation' Has volunteered For seventeen years Plekhanov A priori

Neither anticipation Nor fulfilment Is realistic In dialectic

Who was ever disowned By his Granma?
