We are feeling good
And we are free
Free to be lead to misery
The future is rosy
Your neighbour is nice
The gooks in Thailand
Have loads of rice
Forget the story
Told on TV
Here's the junk yard
So plain
to see
But when the pressure's too high
And the shit hits the fan
Gotta let out a sigh
And wonder why they're tan
But when . . . .
No union riots
No picket fight
The guy on top there
Is always right
He serves the public
He loves you all
And when it's over
Its you who fall
But when . . . .
Fifteen black miners
All blown to hell
How many really
The boss won't tell
We need the diamonds
Sell us your coal
To warm our asses
Is the primary goal
But when . . . .
