Here Comes The Flood

Factories in the Phillipines
Cutting holes in brand new jeans
For cutting edge consumers
Rich kids in the West you see
They have no sense of irony
And i’m losing my sense of humour
All across the ruined sky
Vapour trails multiply, trade winds are getting stronger
While he says she has to chill
They bring us apples from Brazil
New diseases from the Congo
I haven’t prayed since god knows when
My teeth are un-American
Socialism’s orphan child
Unimpressed, unreconciled
Some people think I’m crazy… but I’m not
Here comes the flood
Here comes the flood
A million t.v. dishes crown the skyline of shanty town
Everywhere our apsiration
The word from CNN arives
We watched the headlines of our lives
Each movement in isolation
The cool blue line of isolation…
I haven’t prayed since god knows when
My teeth are un-American
Socialism’s orphan child
Unimpressed, unreconciled
Some people think I’m crazy… but I’m not
Here comes the flood
Here comes the flood
Democracy for planet earth
They roll it out like Astroturf
Easy men they’re all in a hurry
So you can wear a stupid grin
Watch 'em roll the bankers in
Only the bad guys amongst us need to worry
I haven’t prayed since god knows when
My teeth are un-American
Socialism’s orphan child
Unimpressed, unreconciled
Some people think I’m crazy… but I’m not
Here comes the flood
Here comes the flood
