The Pink Flag
Julian Caesar
While I did not entirely come up with these lyrics, as I found them online, these lyrics sum up my thoughts of certain parties.
A Hymn to the US Worker's Party
To the tune of: O, Tannenbaum
The People's flag is palest pink
It's not the color you might think
White collar workers stand and cheer
The Labor government is here
We'll change the country bit by bit
So nobody will notice it
And just to show that we're sincere
We'll sing The Red Flag once a year
The cloth cap and the woolen scarf
Are images outdated
For we're the party's avant-garde
And we are educated
So raise the rolled umbrella high
The college scarf, the old school tie
And just to show that we're sincere
We'll sing The Red Flag once a year
The People's flag is slightly pink
It's not as red as people think
The working class can kiss my arse
I've got the foreman's job at last
So raise the champagne glasses high,
and hear the workers give a sigh,
And just to show that we're sincere
We'll sing The Red Flag once a year.

Haha. Good one!
While I agree with the general sentiment and enjoyed the satiric rewrite of the old O'Connell standby, I also feel like the only-slightly buried atmospherics of this chromic critique pursue a rather dated critical trajectory which implies that the problem with capitalist-roaders or social-imperialists is that they are not "man enough".
XD Well played sir!
Absolutely that fits well with the USWP- a bunch of pretenders 😛
Excellent \o/
Thank you, comrades!
