A great leap forwards

It may have been Camelot for Jack and Jaqueline
But on the Hugo Chavez highway filling up with gasoline
Little Donald Rumsfeld spies a rich lady who's crying
Over luxury's disappointment
So he walks over and he's trying
To sympathize with her
But he thinks that he should warn her
To prepare to be bombed back into the Stone Age

In the former Soviet Union the citizens' demand
To know why they're still the target
Of Strategic Air Command
And they shake their fists in anger
And respectfully suggest
That we take the money from our missiles and
Spend it on our hospitals instead

The Cold War now is over
But the stakes are getting higher
I'm frightened of collateral damage and of friendly fire
And I don't believe we can defeat no Axis of Evil
By putting smart bombs in the hands of dumb people

Mixing pop and politics, they ask me what the use is
I offer up my acupuncturist, my masseuses
While looking down the corridor
Out to where my ego is waiting
I'm looking for the New World Order

Jumble sales are organized
All my mates got back
Even after all this time you can still send me a fax
You can be active with the activists or
Sleep in with the medias
I'm waiting for the great leap forwards

One leap forwards, two leaps back
Will YouTube give MTV the sack?
Waiting for the great leap forwards

Well, here comes the future and you can't run from it
If you've got a tatto henry I wanna be on it, mate
Waiting for the great leap forwards

In a perfect world we'd all sing in tune but
This is reality, not American Idol
Waiting for the great leap forwards

So join the struggle while you may
The revolution is just an ethical haircut away while you

Waiting for the great leap forwards

There is another version somewhere on youtube, cant find it right now which has the line
'If you got a MySpace I wanna be on it'
in place of 'If you've got a tatto henry I wanna be on it, mate' 

Billy Bragg..., einfach immer wieder genial...
