Can T Happen Here lyrics

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
