 That the Third World is just around the corner
 
 In the Soviet Union a scientist is blinded
 By the resumption of nuclear testing and he is reminded
 That Dr. Robert Oppenheimer's optimism fell
 At the first hurdle
 
 In the Cheese Pavilion and the only noise I hear
 Is the sound of people stacking chairs
 And mopping up spilt beer
 And someone asking questions and basking in the light
 Of the fifteen fame filled minutes of the fanzine writer
 
 Mixing Pop and Politics he asks me what the use is
 I offer him embarrassment and my usual excuses
 While looking down the corridor
 Out to the where the van is waiting
 I'm looking for the Great Leap Forwards
 
 Jumble sales are organized and pamphlets have been posted
 Even after closing time there's still parties to be hosted
 You can be active with the activists 
 Or sleep in with the sleepers
 While you're waiting for the Great Leap Forwards
 
 (All below follow

 One leap forward two leaps back
 Will politics get me the sack?
 Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards
 
 Here comes the future and you can't run from it
 If you've got a blacklist I want to be on it
 Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards
 
 It's a mighty long way down rock nd roll
 From Top of the Pops to drawing the dole
 Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards
 
 If no one happens to understand
 Start your own revolution, cut out the middleman
 Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards
 
 So join the struggle while you may
 The revolution is only a T-shirt away
 Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards (repeat as necessary)
