Can’t Happen Here

Lyrics

[Intro] (Whoo, alright) (Whoo) (Come on, come on) [Verse 1] Contaminated fish and microchips 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 [Pre-Chorus] And we're so abused (Can't happen) And we're so confused (Can't happen) It's easy to believe that someone's gonna light the fuse [Chorus] Can't happen here Can't happen here All that you fear, they're telling you Can't happen here [Verse 2] Supersonic planes for a holiday boom Rio de Janeiro in an afternoon There's people out of work, but there's people on the Moon Looking for the future Concrete racetracks nationwide Juggernauts are carving up the countryside Cars by the million on a one-way ride Using up the future [Pre-Chorus] And we're so abused (Can't happen) And we're so confused (Can't happen) It's easy to believe that someone's gonna light the fuse (Ow!) [Chorus] Can't happen here Can't happen here All that you fear, they're telling you Can't happen here Can't happen here (I don't know) Can't happen here All that you fear, they're telling you Can't happen here (Oh) (Whoo) [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] 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 [Pre-Chorus] And we're so abused (Can't happen) And we're so confused (Can't happen) It's so easy to believe that someone's gonna light Easy to believe that someone's gonna light the fuse Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah [Chorus] Can't happen here Can't happen here All that you fear, they're telling you Can't happen here (Oh) Can't happen here (I don't know) Can't happen here (Whoo) All that you fear, they're telling you Can't happen here Can't happen here Can't happen here (Oh, no) All that you fear, they're telling you Can't happen here (Ow) [Outro] Can't happen Can't happen (But I don't know) All that you fear, they're telling you Can't happen (Ow) Hey, can't happen here, can it? I don't know, whoo Yeah, I don't know Can't happen here
