GOOD RIDDANCE LYRICS

"The Great Leap Forward"

Once we're standing for something with true strength and heart
But the old manifesto has splintered apart,
Driven from homes to the depths of despair.
Hear the cries of the innocent ring through the air.

(Genocide) The new class warfare,
Pushed aside to make all the people one.
(Drop dead) Because freedom's a cancer
And state-sponsored terror's the new land reform.

Blinded by pride and national impulse,
Weaned on the doctrines of Lenin and Marx.
A blood-red scar on the new face of China,
Exploding like tinder too close to the spark.

(Genocide) The new class warfare,
Pushed aside to make all the people one.
(Drop dead) Because freedom's a cancer
And state-sponsored terror's the new land reform.

This time it's genocide
And the terror comes from within.
Nobody's safe from the latest wave
As the new republic's in.

We'll do away with agrarian notions,
Bleed the population into fear.
You can't stop our populist expansion
'Cause you've got no freedoms here.
