The Germs, 1980

“Communist Eyes”

I’m looking through Communist eyes
I’m seeing planes in bloodshot skies

I see the flag of a working people
Who conceal the lies of its stars and sickle

It’s a double edge…

Communist eyes-c’mon inside
I can’t ever find a way out
Communist eyes-lost inside
I never get a day out

I’m looking through Communist eyes
All I see is an old man’s alibi

There’s a world outside, but I’m unaware
I open The Book but the pages stare

It’s a double edge…

Communist eyes-all so blind

I can’t even play the game now

I’m living through Communist times
I wave my flag and hold my head high
I can feel the glory of my comrades in masses

But I’m waiting for the day when this madness passes

It’s a double edge…
