Mao Tse Tung Said

Mao Tse-Tung said change must come
Change must come thru the barrel of a gun
Not thru talkin' and not through waitin'
And sittin' around just contemplatin' the facts
'Cos we know what they are
So let Mao Tse Tung be your guidin' star
Pick up a gun and learn how to fight
All thru the day and all thru the night
'Til come the day when the last fight’s won
I want you to listen, son
'Cos Mao Tse Tung said change must come
Thru the barrel of a gun
I want you to listen, son
Change must come
Change must come thru the barrel of a gun
Mao Tse Tung said, «change must come…»
Mao Tse Tung said, «change must come…»
Mao Tse Tung said, «change must come…»
«Change must come thru the barrel of a gun»
— Okay.
What was the basic premise of Mao?
Mao Tse Tung said there’s only one
way a revolution can come.
Do you know, Millie?
How did Mao Tse Tung say the
only way you can bring a revolution and keep it?
— Where you— onliest way I think you can keep it is by being at peace and being
honorable
— Oh, shit, I ain’t— no— «being at peace»?
Mao Tse Tung said that?
— Oh—
— No no no no—
— Wait a minute— Oh—
— —he's the head of China.
He’s the head of the Revolution of China
— No, I’m sorry
— He marched 6000 people… on the Long March
— I had my mind on something else
— Okay then, wha— wha— what’d he say?
There only one way you can bring about a
revolution for people
— Only way you can— only way you can bring it on, that by— is by killing
— Well, what— yes, that’s okay, I’m going to let you pass it —but what’d he say?
He had a nice little phrase that everybody should know.
«Change only comes—»
— Oh—
— You got it.
«Change comes through…»
— «—through— by a barrel of gun.»
— That's right, senior.
And that’s good.
Cause you, by rights, would have every
reason to forget some things.
«Change must come through the barrel of gun,»
said Mao Tse Tung.
This place would be a paradise tomorrow if every department
had a supervisor with a sub machine gun
Let them hear it in the night!
Yes, we’ll fight!
Let the night roar,
because they can hear us, they know we mean it.
We’ll kill them if they come!
