Mao Zedong, also transliterated as Mao Tse-tung listen (help·info), and commonly referred to as Chairman Mao (December 26, 1893 – September 9, 1976), was a Chinese Communist revolutionary, guerrilla warfare strategist, Marxist political philosopher, and leader of the Chinese Revolution. He was the architect and founding father of the People's Republic of China (PRC) from its establishment in 1949, and held authoritarian control over the nation until his death in 1976. His theoretical contribution to Marxism–Leninism, along with his military strategies and brand of policies, are collectively known as Maoism.
Mao rose to power by commanding the Long March, forming a Second United Front with Kuomintang (KMT) during the Second Sino-Japanese War to repel a Japanese invasion, and leading the Communist Party of China (CPC) to victory against Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang (KMT) in the Chinese Civil War. After solidifying the reunification of China through his Campaign to Suppress Counterrevolutionaries, Mao enacted sweeping land reform, by using violence and terror to overthrow the feudal landlords before seizing their large estates and dividing the land into people's communes. During the years when Mao was China’s 'Great Helmsman', a range of positive changes came to China. These included promoting the status of women, improving popular literacy, doubling the school population, providing universal housing, abolishing unemployment and inflation, increasing health care access, and dramatically raising life expectancy. In addition, China's population almost doubled during the period of Mao's leadership (from around 550 to over 900 million). As a result, Mao is still officially held in high regard by many in China as a great political strategist, military mastermind, and savior of the nation. Maoists further promote his role as a theorist, statesman, poet, and visionary, while anti-revisionists continue to defend most of his policies.
Kim Il-sung (15 April 1912 – 8 July 1994) was the leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, commonly referred to as "North Korea", from its establishment in 1948 until his death in 1994. He held the posts of Prime Minister from 1948 to 1972 and President from 1972 to his death. He was also the leader of the Workers' Party of Korea from 1949 to 1994 (titled as chairman from 1949 to 1966 and as general secretary after 1966).
His tenure as leader of North Korea has often been described as autocratic, and he established an all-pervasive cult of personality. From the mid-1960s, he promoted his self-developed Juche variant of communist national organization, which later replaced Marxism-Leninism as the ideology of the state in 1972. In the Library of Congress Country Study on North Korea in 2009, he was described as "one of the most intriguing figures of the twentieth century". He outlived Joseph Stalin by four decades, Mao Zedong by two, and remained in power during the terms of office of six South Korean presidents, 7 Soviet leaders, ten U.S. presidents, and twenty-one Japanese prime ministers.
This is not a lie, there's no double-side If the world you wish for is in my mind But we destroy the sky by doing what we like The moon's gonna watch the world go
Barely there and white, can't hold it in my eye Still It's all I think about and all the time A promise is forever but forever doesn't know Even that will fade and then go ※1 Sheets come down, they fall by chance They drop but they don't complain They got to float and now they have to rain
Who are you today? Galileo Galilei? Do you live in a world that nobody can paint No matter who was right, no matter what you know The moon's gonna see the world go
This is not a lie, there's no other side Sometimes when we joke about it doesn't feel right I stuck to promise hardly anyone has made It's the only thing that's saving my pride
Sheets come down, they fall by chance They drop but they don't complain They got to float and now they have to rain
Sheets come down, they fall by chance They drop but they don't complain They got to float and now they have to rain
Oh oh I lost something and I know I know it'll swallow me whole Like a shell that's swept away Stolen by the waves
Oh oh I lost something and I know I know it'll swallow me whole Like a shell that's swept away Stolen by the waves
Barely there and white, can't hold it in my eye Still it's all I think about and all the time A promise is forever but forever doesn't know Even that will fade and then go
You are so bright, you filled my mind Like a vision in a frame I'm about to lose that too 'Cause your picture's faint
Sheets come down, they fall by chance They drop but they don't complain They got to float and now they have to rain
Oh oh I lost something and I know I know it'll swallow me whole Like a shell that's swept away Stolen by the waves
She's my time machine
She's my rolling memory
She's my family
And I love her so
She knows my secrets well
But her back seat won't ever tell
She's no Jezebel
My '65 Mustang rides along
Every mile's another song
And what I don't remember
She never forgets
That little girl ain't let me down yet
It all comes back to me
When I turn that horse's key
I'm 17 or 23
Or bringing home my first baby
Like Dad did when the '65 was three
She's been four colors
We've broken forty laws
She goes where she wants
No matter what the cost
No power nothing here
AC's 2 by 75
Yea you got it man
You roll em down and drive
My '65 Mustang rides along
Every mile's another song
And what I don't remember
She never forgets
That little girl ain't let me down yet
It all comes back to me
When I turn that horse's key
I'm 17 or 23
Or bringing home my first baby
Like Dad did when the '65 was three
Don't need to play no new CD's
She's enough music for me
I Don't need no new AC
Cause she's cooler than I'll ever be
My wild Mustang
She's waiting on me
Ready to take us away
Sail across the sea
When I'm on her back
I'm the boy each man should be
She's My Family Tree
My '65 Mustang rides along
Every mile's another song
And what I don't remember
She never forgets
That little girl ain't let me down yet
It all comes back to me
When I turn that horse's key
And she roars to me...I'm 23
Or bringing home my first baby
Like Dad did when the '65 was three
We were sixteen riding in a mustang
Somebody handed it back to me
I took a hit and then I stared out of a window
I knew I'd never be the same
We were flying, down a highway
I had the radio up full blast
Threw a beer bottle up against a stop sign
We had to stop for gas
Chorus:
Hey mama, I'm out for the weekend
These friends of mine ain't worth a damn
They ain't never gonna make it in the real world
Keep praying mama, maybe I am
We'd drive the back roads
Out by the ghost bridge
We'd always stop our car halfway across
Someone'd tell a story 'bout a fatal car crash
We'd turn the motor and the lights off
We'd always try to make it back home on time
Never seemed to fail we never did
We were young and we were howling at a full moon
Bunch of no good punk ass kids
