Oh No! He’s a Communist

Pub punk, group vocals, gang vocals, group chant

[Verse 1 – background]
(but forgot how to be man)

[Chorus – all]
We lost a fella, not dead but gone (not dead but gone)  
He said “I know a better way” and just moved on (moved on)  
He said “I’m Dail Milton!” (Milton!)  
Now his voice don’t join the song (join the song)  
We lost a fella, not dead but gone (not dead but gone)

[Verse 2 – lead]
We never asked for perfect thoughts or theories to impress  
Just a tune and one more pint to hold when feelin’ less  
But he turned from fried food counsel, chose the banners and the fight  
Now his chair sits empty  
On a hot tub night

[Verse 2 – background]
(on a hot tub night)

[Bridge – chant, four times, full print]
Oh no, he’s a communist! (communist!)  
Left the comfort of the night! (of the night!)

Oh no, he’s a communist! (communist!)  
Traded singing for the fight! (for the fight!)

Oh no, he’s a communist! (communist!)  
Still alive but lost his place! (lost his place!)

Oh no, he’s a communist! (communist!)  
Fella gone without a trace! (without a trace!)

[Final Chorus – printed fully]
We lost a fella, not dead but gone (not dead but gone)  
He said “I know a better way” and just moved on (moved on)  
He said “I’m Dail Milton!” (Milton!)  
But we haven’t heard him long (heard him long)  
We lost a fella, not dead but gone (not dead but gone)

[Verse 1 – lead] He used to raise a glass with us and sing into the night Found joy in simple stories told beneath the tavern light But somewhere down the line he traded laughter for the plan Now he speaks of greater causes But forgot how to be man [Verse 1 – background] (but forgot how to be man) [Chorus – all] We lost a fella, not dead but gone (not dead but gone) He said “I know a better way” and just moved on (moved on) He said “I’m Dail Milton!” (Milton!)
