My Karl is Popper
Your Karl is Marx
You say sunshine of future
I say a torch in the dark
And while we’re struggling to find the point
Your fascist cousins are allowed to keep going

My Karl is Popper
Your Karl is Marx
You say class conflict
I say human rights
All your predictions are falling apart
There’ll be no revolution unless it's far-right

My Karl is Popper
Your Karl is Marx
You come from Hegel
I’ve got Socrates’ heart
You call the individual selfish and wretch
I call the individual a minority edge

You see, there is no truth
Just things you can disprove
You saw them, you saw them!
My friend, whaddya like best?
Dissidents under arrest?
They’re still there, you saw them!

Do you hear national anthems play?
You hear them! Yes, you hear them!
Would you reduce all our freedoms space?
You’re joining the wrong array!

My Karl is Popper
Your Karl is Marx
We should stand for progress
But we’re losing the fight
‘Cause while we’re arguing ‘bout finding a way
The fascists are back and now they want to stay
