Suez
Nasser wants the dam
Hammarskjöld falls through
Ike is afraid for
Credibility of UN
Dysfunctional empires
Won't give up on anything
Anything
You wouldn't fare better
As a global go-getter
Try staying civil
Try not to see evil
In the heat of the summer
1956
Still on a power trip
In the heat of the summer
1956
You're still on a power trip
Still on a power trip
No organisation
Meant for the canal
The Anglo-French think that
Their history's eternal
Eden is ready
To run with Israeli
We keep doing what we've done
With or without you
In the heat
The longest shadow
The darkest shadow
The blurriest shadow
The shadow of a shadow
The shadow of
A shadow
Guy Mollet is running
His country on fumes
Community means energy
Gulf wars are coming
From Washington's distance
To the Carter doctrine
From civilising missions
To a white alliance
In the heat of the summer 1956
Still on a power trip
In the heat of the summer 1956
Still on a power trip
Hammarskjöld falls through
Ike is afraid for
Credibility of UN
Dysfunctional empires
Won't give up on anything
Anything
You wouldn't fare better
As a global go-getter
Try staying civil
Try not to see evil
In the heat of the summer
1956
Still on a power trip
In the heat of the summer
1956
You're still on a power trip
Still on a power trip
No organisation
Meant for the canal
The Anglo-French think that
Their history's eternal
Eden is ready
To run with Israeli
We keep doing what we've done
With or without you
In the heat
The longest shadow
The darkest shadow
The blurriest shadow
The shadow of a shadow
The shadow of
A shadow
Guy Mollet is running
His country on fumes
Community means energy
Gulf wars are coming
From Washington's distance
To the Carter doctrine
From civilising missions
To a white alliance
In the heat of the summer 1956
Still on a power trip
In the heat of the summer 1956
Still on a power trip
