A New Kind Of Water 가사

Eat, drink and be merry For tomorrow we die Eat electricity Drink five of the seven seas Here is a paralyzed sleet Here is a bubble bath rain Acrid stench and festering tongue New York, Moscow, Nairobi in flames I don't know either What is the answer? We were told to expect more And now that we've got more We want more We want more We have moved from A to X This welfare state is our progress The size of it all carries us all along More equals better, it's what we want Our energy is endless it seems It's there when we need it We've got men on the job We finance clinics to research A cure for cancer, our least vague fear A new kind of water A new way of breathing Always, somehow, a wonder cure all Turns up when we need it We've got men on the job You know from experience The creature comforts, a house that's warm Your body would choose all this Of course! It's innate we're selfish But what if there's not enough to go round? Defence is needed We've got some odd men in odd jobs We have moved from a to z This nuclear state is our demise Fly away peter, hide away paul Who can watch as the earth burns, shatters and dies? Failsafe, foolproof, we've heard that before Good sense is needed Let's hope we've got men on the job The size of it all carries us along More equals better, it's what we want You know from experience Your body would choose all this
