Gross and Conspicuous Error No. 2

Lyrics

It is the task of the pragmatisers
The relativisers, the ultimate interpreters
Explainers and other imposters and official thinkers
Of the land of the free
To perpetuate and reproduce
The psychomythology of reified self-mind
Marx's still young
But old chestnut 
That the philosophers have only interpreted the world
The point is to change it
Is embedded in a nexus of dialectics
It is a G&CE to see it merely
As a gung-ho call to arms
It is rather a statement
About the nature of reality
A denial of the separation
Of man/woman from revolutionary practice
