Communist Party
God Ate My Homework Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm into parties, but I couldn't relate
To the ones I saw at this big debate
Both liked business
Gettin' rich
I couldn't quite say
Which was which
Then a well-dressed fat guy made
A pitch for buyin' planes
So I says excuse me folks
It's too much for my brain

So we're having a Communist Party
Put away your capitalist greed
Bring food and drinks according to your means
But take just what you need

I must admit it was quite an affair
'Cause everyone who was no-one was there
They got Socialists
And Maoists
Libertarians
And Taoists
There's this guy who's talking revolution
How it's gonna be
And he's raggin' on the gov'ment
But it doesn't bother me

[chorus]

I asked some wallflower how's it goin'
He said somebody needs some overthrowin'
We got pollution
We got droughts
Our ozone layer's
Runnin' out
How he talks about the world
There's no doubtin' it's a mess
So I had some vodka jello
And I'm feelin' less oppressed

[chorus]

Pig to man & man to pig & pig to man again
Pig to man & man to pig & pig to man again
Pig to man & man to pig &
Pig to man & man to pig &
Pig to man & man to pig
And pig to man again.

Then all of a sudden, the party's sick
Everyone's gone or watchin' Marx Brothers flicks
So I'm reeling in confusion
Sell my soul for absolution
So I asked who's up for revolution this November




We collectivized the alcohol
And that's all I remember

Overall Meaning

The song "Communist Party" by God Ate My Homework is a satirical take on the Communist Party and what it represents. The song starts with the singer being uninterested in the traditional parties he sees around him. He becomes interested in the Communist Party after hearing a man make a pitch for buying planes, which confuses him.


The Communist Party is then described as an event where everyone who is nobody turns up. The event is attended by socialists, Maoists, libertarians, and Taoists. A revolution is talked about, highlighting the mess that the world is in with pollution, droughts, and depleted ozone layers. However, the singer is less oppressed after having vodka jello.


The chorus of the song reinforces the party's message of being a communist party by urging people to put away capitalist greed and bring food and drinks according to their means. The song ends with the party being disbanded, and the singer asking who's up for a revolution. They then collectivize the alcohol, and that's all the singer can remember.


The song is a playful poke at Communism, using humor to illustrate its various aspects. It is an entertaining, thought-provoking piece that can help listeners to better understand the core tenets of communism.

I'm into parties, but I couldn't relate To the ones I saw at this big debate Both liked business Gettin' rich I couldn't quite say Which was which
I went to a political event where I saw people who seemed to be partying for reasons I couldn't understand. Both groups seemed to be interested in capitalism and making money; it was difficult to tell the difference between them.


Then a well-dressed fat guy made A pitch for buyin' planes So I says excuse me folks It's too much for my brain
During the event, a wealthy man suggested we buy planes, which I found overwhelming and unimportant given the larger circumstances.


So we're having a Communist Party Put away your capitalist greed Bring food and drinks according to your means But take just what you need
In response to the capitalist sentiment at the political event, we decided to hold a Communist Party where everyone would bring what they could and take only what they needed.


I must admit it was quite an affair 'Cause everyone who was no-one was there They got Socialists And Maoists Libertarians And Taoists There's this guy who's talking revolution How it's gonna be And he's raggin' on the gov'ment But it doesn't bother me
The Communist Party was a success, attended by various political groups, including Socialists, Maoists, Libertarians, and Taoists. There was one person even discussing a revolution, criticizing the government, which didn't faze me.


I asked some wallflower how's it goin' He said somebody needs some overthrowin' We got pollution We got droughts Our ozone layer's Runnin' out How he talks about the world There's no doubtin' it's a mess So I had some vodka jello And I'm feelin' less oppressed
I talked to someone at the party who suggested that we need to overthrow something. We discussed various problems, such as pollution, droughts, and the depletion of the ozone layer, which made it clear that the world is in disarray. I had some vodka jello to calm down and feel less oppressed.


Pig to man & man to pig & pig to man again Pig to man & man to pig & pig to man again Pig to man & man to pig & Pig to man & man to pig & Pig to man & man to pig And pig to man again.
We recited the phrase 'pig to man, man to pig, pig to man again' as a metaphor for the cyclical nature of political power and corruption.


Then all of a sudden, the party's sick Everyone's gone or watchin' Marx Brothers flicks So I'm reeling in confusion Sell my soul for absolution So I asked who's up for revolution this November We collectivized the alcohol And that's all I remember
Suddenly, everyone left the party or started watching Marx Brothers movies, leaving me disoriented and confused. In my confusion, I asked who was up for a revolution in November and also mentioned that we would share the alcohol. That was the last thing I remember.

Meh theyโ€™re biologically programmed different, I have a friend who everyone else thinks is super weird, and theyโ€™re not wrong. But Think about it this way. A normal human has average IQ and average EQ(emotional quotient) . A genius However, will have High IQ and low EQ. And my friend is really smart, but he also eats paper and tries to fight an invisible person in math class๐Ÿ˜‚
