Can't Happen Here
(Whoo!)
(Alright)
(Whoo!)
(Come on, come on)
Contaminated fish and microchips
Huge supertankers on Arabian trips
Oily propaganda from the leaders' lips
All about the future
There's people over here, people over there
Everybody's looking for a little more air
Crossing all the borders just to take their share
Planning for the future
And we're so abused (can't happen)
And we're so confused (can't happen)
It's easy to believe that someone's gonna light the fuse
Can't happen here
Can't happen here
All that you fear, they're telling you
Can't happen here
Supersonic planes for a holiday boom
Rio de Janeiro in an afternoon
There's people out of work, but there's people on the Moon
Looking for the future
Concrete racetracks nationwide
Juggernauts are carving up the countryside
Cars by the million on a one way ride
Using up the future
And we're so abused (can't happen)
And we're so confused (can't happen)
It's easy to believe that someone's gonna light the fuse (ow!)
Can't happen here
Can't happen here
All that you fear, they're telling you
Can't happen here
Can't happen here (I don't know)
Can't happen here
All that you fear, they're telling you
Can't happen here
(Oh!)
Satellites spying for the CIA
The KGB and the men in grey
Wonder if I'm gonna see another day
Somewhere in the future
We got everything we need for a peaceful time
Take what you want, but you can't take mine
Everybody's living on the Siegfried Line
Worried 'bout the future
And we're so abused (can't happen)
And we're so confused (can't happen)
It's so easy to believe that someone's gonna light
Easy to believe that someone's gonna light the fuse
(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Can't happen here
Can't happen here
All that you fear, they're telling you
Can't happen here (oh!)
Can't happen here (oh, no, no)
Can't happen here (whoo!)
All that you fear, they're telling you
Can't happen here
Can't happen here
Can't happen here (oh!)
All that you fear, they're telling you
Can't happen here (ow!)
Can't happen
Can't happen (but I don't know)
All that you fear, they're telling you
Can't happen (ow!)
Hey, can't happen here, can it?
I don't know, whoo!
Yeah, I don't know
Can't happen here
(Alright)
(Whoo!)
