About the Artist
Lyrics
[Verse 1] What's the point in an education When you have to pay for the privilege This side of the truth where no sun shines They don't count - The cripples and the blind I was thinking everybody had a chance Like a dream stretched away too far All this time such a debt to the city I don't know who's the real enemy [Chorus] This is the socialist serenade Yes I have money but I hate champagne This is the socialist serenade I can't see the past anywhere [Verse 2] Some greater benefit for the people Ha ha ha ha we all believe in you Is it about the politics of celebrity Or endless days in the sun of Tuscany [Chorus] This is the socialist serenade Yes I have money but I hate champagne This is the socialist serenade I can't see the past anywhere, anywhere [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] This is the socialist serenade Yes I have money but I hate champagne This is the socialist serenade I can't see the past anywhere, anywhere [Outro] Change your name to new Forget the fucking labour [Guitar Solo]
