Kronstadt town

anonyme


Text anonymous (≤1981). Tune : « I Belong to Glasgow ».


(Chorus :)
I belong to Kronstadt, dear old Kronstadt town
When there’s a revolution, the party puts it down
I’m only an anarchist worker, but I know where my sympathies lie
I belong to Kronstadt, until the day I die.
 
1
I belong to Kronstadt, Kronstadt there-on-sea
We’re gonna run the factories, and live in liberty
Whenever I see a commissar, I cut ’em down to size
If they come round here or anywhere near
they’re in for a big surprise !
 
(chorus)
 
2
I belong to Kronstadt, you might think that I’m dumb
I still believe in Anarchy, freedom for everyone
So fuck off Lenin and your gang and right up Trotsky too
If you think we’ll bow to dictatorship, you know what you can do !
 
(chorus)
 
3
I belong to Kronstadt, I’ll tell you one more time
Don’t listen to the marxists, they’ll have you down the mine
And don’t waste time with arguments, just run ’em out of town
So don’t forget — no don’t you let those bastards grind you down.

About Leon Trotski, Lenin and Kronstadt.
