No Champagne Socialist 歌词

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 rope 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)
