Lyrics
Well I'm not cool enough for Camden I guess by now that's clear And I'm not folk enough for Whitby 'Cause I can never grow a beard And I could be sad enough for country But I'm no good at being drunk I tried to be a protest singer And found out I'm too middle-cla** for punk But oh mama, I'm a Revolutionary in the wrong time And the world ain't changing for me I heard a rumour there was power in a union And that was yesterday Now I'm just a pop singer without the looks An activist without the books And when my faith fell short I tried selling out But nobody bought But nobody bought Well I'm not cool enough for Ireland I guess I'll never be And I'm not rock enough for Rough Trade And baby that's just fine by me And I could be cross enough for stand-up But I've no timing for a joke I guess one day I'll just accept I'll Never get on Cambridge folk But oh mama, I'm a Revolutionary in the wrong time And the world ain't changing for me I heard a rumour there was power in a union But that was yesterday Now I'm just a pop singer without the looks Who never understood the books On neo-Marxist thought I tried selling out But nobody bought But nobody bought Oh mama I'm a Revolutionary in the wrong time And the world ain't changing tonight I heard a rumour there was power in a union And that used to be right When I never understood the books I'd sooner try and write the hooks That's when you know you ought To try selling out But nobody bought But nobody bought But nobody bought Oh, nobody bought
