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 going to light the fuse |

Can't happen here, can't happen here |
|
All that you fear they're telling you can't happen here |

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 going to light it |
|
Easy to believe someone's going to 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? |
