What a perceptive song that sums up the post Thatcherist complacency of modern times. From young people to politicians, the acceptable norm was to become more right wing, more American (even the Labour Party of the nineties under Blair was just an extension of the Tory party.....Champagne Socialists).
I get the impression that Ray warns us in this song that Complacency will be the downfall of our society to a mediocre state controlled corporate free for all and that we need to keep our revolutionary fervor intact.
That sticking up for socialistic principles, protecting the underdog, fighting for/protecting rights the NHS and Welfair state, doing the right thing by the people and for the people rather than the wealthy few is worth fighting for.
Long may the young socialists confine the young conservatives to history.
