North Sea Bubble

歌詞

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
