I wanna live in Red China
Where everyone’s the same
Cause I’d rather be the same
Than a man full of shame
Who everyone thinks insane

Ain’t no one going sick
And everyone got a home

I wanna live in Soviet Russia
Maybe I’ll get Stalin to pay my chemo
If I loved him enough
Cause Mr. President don’t think that way
Communism can’t be that bad
If I get to live one fair day

Ain’t no one going sick
And everyone got a home

Oh, I wanna live in Red China
Cause I’m tired of this
What’s democracy to me if leukemia puts me broke
What’s democracy to me if I’m the punch line?
Thomas Jefferson don’t see what I see
Don’t matter if I was created equal
When people still look down on me

Ain’t no one going sick
And everyone got a home

Oh, I wanna live in Soviet Russia
So I’d just be the same as the businessman at the doctor’s
So I’d have a job
So I’d have something to do
So I could buy my chemo
So I’d have something to do

I wanna be a Communist
McCarthy would hate me but
I wanna be a communist
Ain’t no one going sick
Wanna be a communist
Yeah be a communist
A communist
A Communist Man

I was inspired by the song "Chemo Limo" by Regina Spektor...great song by the way.
