Here Comes the Flood

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Factories in the Philippines Are cutting holes in brand new jeans For cutting edge consumers Rich kids in the West, you see They have no sense of irony And I'm losing my sense of humour [Verse 2] All across the ruined sky Vapour trails multiply Trade winds are getting stronger While we sip Shiraz and chill They bring us apples from Brazil New diseases from the Congo [Chorus] I haven't prayed since God knows when My teeth are un-American Socialism's orphan child Unimpressed, unreconciled Some people think I'm crazy but I'm not Here comes the flood Here comes the flood [Verse 3] A million TV dishes crown The skyline of shanty town Everywhere our aspiration The word from CNN arrives We watch the headlines of our lives Each marooned in isolation The cool blue light of isolation [Chorus] I haven't prayed since God knows when My teeth are un-American Socialism's orphan child Unimpressed, unreconciled Some people think I'm crazy but I'm not Here comes the flood Here comes the flood [Verse 4] Democracy for planet Earth They roll it out like Astroturf Busy men, they are all in a hurry So cheer and wear a stupid grin Watch 'em roll the bankers in Only the bad guys amongst us need to worry [Chorus] I haven't prayed since God knows when My teeth are un-American Socialism's orphan child Unimpressed, unreconciled Some people think I'm crazy but I'm not Here comes the flood Here comes the flood [Outro] Here, here comes the flood Here, here comes the flood Here comes the flood
