Can't Happen Here

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?
