So give up your cigarettes Work out and study And carry a packet of three We'll live to be rich and a hundred and seven Unless you know better than me
What if we live to be fifty And help all the weak and oppressed We'll cancel their debts & no-one will expect us To work any harder for less We'll spend our way out of recession The West will invest in the East So hordes of the poor never swarm at our door Demanding a share of the feast
So give up your cigarettes Work out and study And carry a packet of three We'll live to be rich and a hundred and seven Unless you know better than me
Science will beat every fatal disease And plutonium's perfectly safe They'll find a solution to all the pollution It's only a matter of faith
What if we live to be fifty And the bomb doesn't drop after all And we never lie destitute, freezing and sick As the mortar shells batter our walls We'll cheer as our glorious leaders Develop new weapons for peace They'll base a new military laser in space And the ozone will heal in a week
So give up your cigarettes Work out and study And carry a packet of three We'll live to be rich and a hundred and seven Unless you know better than meTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
