It's all bad news again today.
More people dead.
More things going wrong.

The world is falling apart,
they keep saying,
and it's all your fault
for not behaving yourselves,

There's evil out there,
they keep saying.
There's evil out there, and we've got to fight it,

All the money's run out
they keep saying.
All the money's run out,
even though it never really existed.

Spend spend spend
the adverts all say.
Spend as much as you can,
and then spend some more,
or you'll never be happy.

You've got to fit in
they say.
You've got to stand out
they say.

You've got to FIGHT for PEACE
they say.

You've got to stand on the hill
and wave your arms in celebration
as the planes fly by...
