Living through another Cuba
|
it's 1961 again and we are piggy in the middle
|
while war is polishing his drum and peace plays second fiddle
|
|
Russia and America are at each other's throats
|
but don't you cry
|
just on your knees and pray, and while you're
|
down there, kiss your arse goodbye
|
|
We're the bulldog on the fence
|
while others play their tennis overhead
|
it's hardly love all and somebody might
|
wind up red or dead
|
pour some oil on the water quick
|
it doesn't really matter where from
|
he love me, he loves me not
|
he's pulling fins from an atom bomb
|
|
This phenomenon happens every 20 years or so
|
if they're not careful your watch won't be the
|
only thing with a radioactive glow
|
I'll stick my fingers in my ears
|
and hope they make it up before too late
|
if we get through this lot alright
|
they're due for replay, 1998
