North Sea Bubble lyrics

I went out drinking with Thomas Paine
He said that all revolutions are not the same
They are as different as the cultures
That give them birth
For no one idea
Can solve every problem on Earth
So don t expect it all to happen
In some prophesized political fashion
For people are different
And so are nations
You can borrow ideas
But you can t borrow situations
In Leningrad the people say
Perestroika can be explained this way
The people who told us
that two and two is ten
Are now trying to tell us
the two and two is five
We re living in a North Sea Bubble
We re trying to spend our way out of trouble
You keep buying these things but you don t need them
But as long as you re comfortable it feels like freedom
My American friends don t know what to do
But they ll wait  along time for a Beverley Hills coup
War! What is it good for
It s good for business
