Billy Bragg "Waiting for the Great Leap Forward"

I liked Bragg's live performance of this song on the Henry Rollins Show so much that I wanted to sift the original. It's said to be about the failure of socialism to deliver on its promises -- although he updates the lyrics to fit the times when he performs it live. Note that Bragg is nothing if not left-leaning.
