[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]
