Billy Bragg - Waiting For The Great Leap Forwards Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • It may have been camelot for jack and jacqueline
  • But on the che guevara highway filling up with gasoline
  • Fidel castros brother spies a rich lady whos crying
  • Over luxurys disappointment
  • So he walks over and hes trying
  • To sympathise with her but he thinks that he should warn her
  • That the third world is just around the corner
  • In the soviet union a scientist is blinded
  • By the resumption of nuclear testing and he is reminded
  • That dr robert oppenheimers optimism fell
  • At the first hurdle
  • In the cheese pavilion and the only noise I hear
  • Is the sound of someone stacking chairs
  • And mopping up spilt beer
  • And someone asking questions and basking in the light
  • Of the fifteen fame filled minutes of the fanzine writer
  • Mixing pop and politics he asks me what the use is
  • I offer him embarrassment and my usual excuses
  • While looking down the corridor
  • Out to where the van is waiting
  • Im looking for the great leap forwards
  • Jumble sales are organised and pamphlets have been posted
  • Even after closing time theres still parties to be hosted
  • You can be active with the activists
  • Or sleep in with the sleepers
  • While youre waiting for the great leap forwards
  • One leap forward, two leaps back
  • Will politics get me the sack?
  • Here comes the future and you cant run from it
  • If youve got a blacklist I want to be on it
  • Its a mighty long way down rock n roll
  • From top of the pops to drawing the dole
  • If no one seems to understand
  • Start your own revolution and cut out the middleman
  • In a perfect world wed all sing in tune
  • But this is reality so give me some room
  • So join the struggle while you may
  • The revolution is just a t-shirt away
  • Waiting for the great leap forwards
