It's alright 'cause 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 'cause 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


Dumb, dumb, dumb, de dumb dumb, de duh de duh de dumb dumb dum... ah ah
Dumb, dumb, dumb, de dumb dumb, de duh de duh de dumb dumb dum... ah ah
