North Sea Bubble

I went out drinking with thomas paine

He said that all revolutions are not the same

They are as different as the cultures

That give them birth

For no one idea

Can solve every problem on earth



So don't expect it all to happen

In some prophesied political fashion

For people are different

And so are nations

You can borrow ideas

But you can't borrow situations



In leningrad the people say

Perestroika can be explained this way

The people who told us

That two and two is ten

Are now trying to tell us

That two and two is five



We're living in a north sea bubble

We're trying to spend our way out of trouble



You keep buying these things but you don't need them

But as long as you're comfortable it feels like freedom



My american friends don't know what to do

But they'll wait a long time for a beverley hills coup



War! what is it good for

It's good for business
