No Ideology

Watch out for that ideology Bad effects on your psychology It bleeds into our sociology ‘Til we hate one another’s biology Let’s make a pact To get our facts together Have no ideology Whatsoever Hitler and Stalin and Mao and Amin – Terminating angels of some fantastic machine Marx and Weber and Keynes and Rand Raised a fist of thought in hand But Peter and Paul and the whole Roman Church Didn’t wanna leave anyone in the lurch Ho Chi Minh shoved me on a Mekong barge Meanwhile, the Castros were living large Let’s make a pact To get our facts together Have no ideology Whatsoever Apostles, ideologues, acolytes – Whatever gets you thru the glassy night The world is your battleground and you must fight Just watch for the mines under your short sights
