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?
