Waiting For The Great Leap Forwards Lyrics
It may have been Camelot for Jack and Jacqueline But on the Che Guevara
highway filling up with gasoline Fidel Castro's brother spies a rich lady
who's crying Over luxury's disappointment So he walks over and he's
trying To sympathize with her but 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 Oppenheimer's optimism fell At the first hurdle In the Cheese
Pavilion and the only noise I hear Is the sound of people 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 I'm looking for the Great Leap Forwards Jumble
sales are organized and pamphlets have been posted Even after closing time
there's still parties to be hosted You can be active with the
activists Or sleep in with the sleepers While you're waiting for the
Great Leap Forwards One leap forwards, two leaps back Will politics get
me the sack? Here comes the future and you can't run from it If you've
got a blacklist I want to be on it It's a mighty long way down rock 'n
roll From Top of the Pops to drawing the dole If no one seems to
understands Start your own revolution, cut out the middleman In a perfect
world we'd 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
