No Champagne Socialist - Arkells
Let the record show
It's 1964 in the city of New York
Take the train to Queens
Meet a Jewish family
He's the youngest one of three
His brothers have left home
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
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
This is something you can't pretend
So he continues to insist that he's no champagne socialist
(That he's no champagne socialist)
