Can't Happen Here

Rainbow

Contaminated fish and micro chips 
Huge supertankers on arabian trips 
Oily propaganda from the leaders' lips 
All about the future 
There's people over here, people over there 
Everybody's looking for a little more air 
Crossing all the borders just to take their share 
Planning for the future 

And we're so abused, and we're so confused 
It's easy to believe that someone's gonna light the fuse 
Can't happen here, can't happen here 
All that you fear they're telling you, can't happen here 

Supersonic planes for a holiday boom 
Rio de janeiro in an afternoon 
People out of work but there's people on the moon 
Looking for the future 
Concrete racktracks nationwide 
Juggernauts carving up the countryside 
Cars by the million on a one way ride 
Using up the future 

And we're so abused, and we're so confused 
It's easy to believe that someone's gonna light the fuse 
Can't happen here, can't happen here 
All that you fear they're telling you, can't happen here 

Satellites spying for the cia 
The kgb and the men in grey 
Wonder if I'm gonna see another day 
Somewhere in the future 
We got everything we need for a peaceful time 
Take what you want but you can't take mine 
Everybody's living on the siegfried line 
Worried 'bout the future 
And we're so abused, and we're so confused 
It's so easy to believe that someone's gonna light it 
Easy to believe someone's gonna light the fuse 
Can't happen here, can't happen here 
All that you fear they're telling you, can't happen here can it?
