Communist Eyes Lyrics
i'm looking through communist eyes i'm seeing planes in bloodshot skies i see the flag of a working people who conceal the lies in the stars and sickle it's a double edge communist eyes-c'mon inside i can't ever find the way out communist eyes-lost inside i never get a day out i'm looking through communist eyes all i see is an old man's alibi there's a world outside but i'm unaware i open my books but the pages stare it's a double edge communist eyes-all so blind i can't even play the game now i'm living through communist times i wave my flag and hold me head high i can feel the glory of my comrades in masses but i'm waiting for the day when this madness passes it's a double edge...

its about darbys feelings on communism... how its a double edged sword. how its intended to help the working class but merely allows a corrupt government to surpress education
My favorite Germs song. Just plain brilliant.
While I can see where Darby is coming from (in all of its uneducated punkrock glory), I do have to say that I, for the most part, completely disagree with the message in this song. Having gotten that said, though, I still find this to be one of my favorites from the Germs. Just too poppy and catchy.
Darby was a social anarchist like joe strummer from the clash, johnny rotten from the sex pistols and a bunch of other early punks. the reality of the failure of the soviet union was apparent to everyone, but american capitalism trapples on human rights too, so they all felt alienated. they wanted socialism without a government, where people are free to actually live in equality with no one above anyone else.
