Mao Tse Tung Said - Alabama 3

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!
