Fifty |
| What if we live to be fifty |
| And the optimists win by a mile |
| Supposing we stop the starvation and slaughter |
| And the century ends with a smile |
| Maybe recycling paper |
| Will bring back the forests again |
| And maybe the five year old psychos with knives |
| Will grow up to be happy and sane |
| So give up your cigarettes |
| Work out and study |
| And carry a packet of three |
| We’ll live to be rich and a hundred and seven |
| Unless you know better than me |
| What if we live to be fifty |
| And help all the weak and oppressed |
| We’ll cancel their debts &no-one will expect us |
| To work any harder for less |
| We’ll spend our way out of recession |
| The West will invest in the East |
| So hordes of the poor never swarm at our door |
| Demanding a share of the feast |
| So give up your cigarettes |
| Work out and study |
| And carry a packet of three |
| We’ll live to be rich and a hundred and seven |
| Unless you know better than me |
| Science will beat every fatal disease |
| And plutonium’s perfectly safe |
| They’ll find a solution to all the pollution |
| It’s only a matter of faith |
| What if we live to be fifty |
| And the bomb doesn’t drop after all |
| And we never lie destitute, freezing and sick |
| As the mortar shells batter our walls |
| We’ll cheer as our glorious leaders |
| Develop new weapons for peace |
| They’ll base a new military laser in space |
| And the ozone will heal in a week |
| So give up your cigarettes |
| Work out and study |
| And carry a packet of three |
| We’ll live to be rich and a hundred and seven |
| Unless you know better than me |
