lyrics

For me it was Joe Strummer
Who came and cracked the code
It's not what to think, but how to think
That set me down this road
No-one ever learns to talk
Before they've learned to listen
Who teaches the Working Class about Socialism?

I read Marx and Engels
And 'Bound For Glory' too
And when the days were darkest
Old Bob Tressel got me through
They led me to those notebooks
That Gramsci wrote in prison
But who teaches the Working Class about Socialism?

Chorus:
Who teaches the Working Class about Socialism?
Who'll fight because it's right, and not just for position?
Who's there to really care, and not just talk but listen?
Who teaches the Working Class about Socialism?

Once there was a union
It was big and brave and bold
It taught the working man to fight
To stick and not to fold
But we've lost it to a past
That's now been cast into derision
And who teaches the Working Class about Socialism?

So now you're on the doorstep
And you canvas for a vote
You can tell they want to ram
Your empty words back down your throat
It's time to take breath
Because you're both in this position
Cos no-one teaches the Working Class about Socialism
