I like Steve's weird and wonderful lyrics but getting political in a song doesn't really do it for me. I'd rather be left guessing as to what the hell he's on about!! Communism is an idea, sometimes an evil, that rarely works. Unfortunately in the world that we live in today there are far greater evil's than being 'red'. The song is the weakest track on Timeless Flight for me, maybe for the reasons that Steve himself stated that it pulls no punches in delivering it's message. I like it when lyrically he go's 'the long way round' so to speak.
