Cocaine Socialism Lyrics

Cocaine Socialism

I thought that you were joking / when you said ’i want to see you / to discuss
your

Contribution / to the future of our nation’s heart and soul / six
o’clock, my place,

Whitehall’ / well I arrived just after seven / but
you said ’it doesn’t

Matter’ / ’i understand your situation / and
your image, and I’m flattered / oh

And I’d just like to tell you /
that I love all of your albums / could you sign this for

My daughter? /
she’s in hospital, her name is miriam / now get down to the gist: / do you

Want a line of this? / are you a (sniff) / socialist? ’ / ’doin’ fine,
yeah! /

Buzzin’ all the time / just one hit / and I feel great / and I
support / the welfare state

/ oh, you must be socialist / ’cos you’re
always off out on the piss / in your private

Member’s bar / oh yes you
are / yer superstar / well you sing about common people / and

The
mis-shapes and the misfits / so can you bring them to my party / and get them
all to

Sniff this? / and all I’m really saying / is come on and rock
the vote for me / all i’m

Really saying / is come on roll up that note
for me / the gist of all of this is / do you

Want hits or d’you want
misses? / are you a socialist, yeah / socialist, yeah / socialist,

Yeah /
oh yeah’ / ’yeah, you can be just what you want to be / just as long as

You don’t try to compete with me / and we’ve waited such a long time /
for the chance to

Help our own kind, so now / please come on and tow the
party line / oh you owe it to

Yourself / don’t think of anybody else /
and we promise we won’t tell / oh we won’t tell,

And we won’t
sell’ / no we won’t / no we won’t / no we won’t
