Billy Bragg - Waiting for The Great Leap Forwards слова песни




It may have been camelot for jack and jacquelineBut on the che guevara highway filling up with gasolineFidel castros brother spies a rich lady whos cryingOver luxurys disappointmentSo he walks over and hes tryingTo sympathise with her but he thinks that he should warn herThat the third world is just around the cornerIn the soviet union a scientist is blindedBy the resumption of nuclear testing and he is remindedThat dr robert oppenheimers optimism fellAt the first hurdleIn the cheese pavilion and the only noise I hearIs the sound of someone stacking chairsAnd mopping up spilt beerAnd someone asking questions and basking in the lightOf the fifteen fame filled minutes of the fanzine writerMixing pop and politics he asks me what the use isI offer him embarrassment and my usual excusesWhile looking down the corridorOut to where the van is waitingIm looking for the great leap forwardsJumble sales are organised and pamphlets have been postedEven after closing time theres still parties to be hostedYou can be active with the activistsOr sleep in with the sleepersWhile youre waiting for the great leap forwardsOne leap forward, two leaps backWill politics get me the sack? Here comes the future and you cant run from itIf youve got a blacklist I want to be on itIts a mighty long way down rock n rollFrom top of the pops to drawing the doleIf no one seems to understandStart your own revolution and cut out the middlemanIn a perfect world wed all sing in tuneBut this is reality so give me some roomSo join the struggle while you mayThe revolution is just a t-shirt awayWaiting for the great leap forwards
