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
