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 accents

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



dum, dum, dum, de dum dum, de duh de duh de dum dum dum... ah ah

dum, dum, dum, de dum dum, de duh de duh de dum dum dum... ah ah
