it’s alright ‘cos the historical pattern has shown / how the economical cycle tends to revolve
in a round of decades three stages stand out in a loop
a slump and war then peel back to square one and back for more
bigger slump and bigger wars and a smaller recovery
huger slump and greater wars and a shallower recovery
you see the recovery always comes ’round again
there’s nothing to worry for things will look after themselves
it’s alright recovery always comes ’round again
there’s nothing to worry if things can only get better

there’s only millions that lose their jobs and homes and sometimes themselves…
there’s only millions that die in their bloody wars—it’s alright
it’s only their lives and the lives of their next of kin that they are losing…
it’s only their lives and the lives of their next of kin that they are losing…

it’s alright ‘cos the historical pattern has shown
how the economical cycle tends to revolve
in a round of decades three stages stand out in a loop
a slump and war then peel back to square one and back for more

bigger slump and bigger wars and a smaller recovery
huger slump and greater wars and a shallower recovery…

don’t worry be happy things will get better naturally
don’t worry shut up sit down go with it and be happy…
