No Champagne Socialist |
Let the record show it’s 1964, in the city of New York |
And take the train to Queens and meet a Jewish family |
He’s the youngest one of three |
And his brothers have left home and he’s on the same road |
Just credits shy of a diploma |
But he wants to represent the struggling with rent |
But he can’t live on both sides of the fence |
So he continues to insist that he’s no champagne socialist |
And he’s not coming back after studying the facts |
He knows of all the problems of the past |
But he’s quick to concede, that in order to proceed |
We can’t just keep on preaching what we need |
To become a working man is to live and work with them |
And this is something you can’t pretend |
So he continues to insist that he’s no champagne socialist |
(That he’s no champagne socialist) |
(He's no champagne socialist) |
