Marcel Cartier - I'm a Socialist [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Verse 1
Let me put forth a vision, represent a school of thought
Grind it out with the others for that number one spot
Cause I ain't scared of reality, I'd rather just embrace it
No religious views, but that don't mean that I'm faithless
Hope based on rational grounds is in the people
Socialism's dead? well, here's the startin' of the sequel
As far as I'm concerned, it should be common sense
That our current way of life ain't really life to begin with
Start of human history will be the very onslaught
Of the revolution, when this class shit'll stop
Or maybe I should say, rather kicked into high gear
Capitalist fools will be runnin' off in fear
Ideas don't change the world alone, people have to do it
And with the people's enemies, our struggle must be ruthless
Beaten down, lied to, often feelin' tired
But a single spark can start the entire uprisin'
I won't ever be subservient, trust in their process
Truly it's played out, it's passed being monstrous
First U.S. revolution was indeed progressive
But quickly the star spangled banner would prove reckless

Chorus
I'm a socialist, more than just a theorist
That means I keep it militant, the boss man's nemesis
Rep the organizers, 9 to 5 grinders
Homeless and the downtrodden, true freedom fighters

Verse 2
Some think rebelling is itself just enough
Like ideology and theory isn't relevent and such
To be real though, that is paramount to our death
A reactionary, suicidal ending to our steps
In direction of full-on freedom's attainment
We need it to be present for the system's arraignment
The system's arrangement is not the end of the time
But we need to badly figure out a way to organize
Productive and effective, not just individual
If we can't get it right, then life will remain critical
Art is not the revolution, art can play a part
As in spreading ideology, but that is just a start
Cause theory without practice on par with inaction
On par with some bullshit, on par with just slackin'
And we don't need no saviors, what we need are soldiers
The disciplined and selfless gonna turn this system over
