Roger Waters - It's a Miracle

Miraculous you call it, babe

You ain't seen nothing yet
They got Pepsi in the Andes
They got McDonald's in Tibet
Yosemite has been turned into a golf course for the Japs
And the Dead Sea is alive with rap
Between the Tigris and Euphrates
There's a leisure center now
They got all kinds of sports, they got Bermuda shorts
They had sex in Pennsylvania
A Brazilian grew a tree
And a doctor in Manhattan saved a dying man for free

It's a miracle, it's a miracle
It's a miracle, another miracle
By the grace of God almighty
And the pressures of the market place
The human race has civilized itself
It's a miracle

We got warehouses of butter
We got oceans of wine
We got famine when we need it
We got designer crime
We got Mercedes, we got Porsch
Ferrari and Rolls Royce
Yeah, we got choice...

She said meet me in the garden
Of Gethsemane my dear
The Lord said Peter, I can see your house from here
An honest man finally reaped what he had sown
And a farmer in Ohio has just repaid a loan

It's a miracle, it's a miracle
It's a miracle, another miracle
By the grace of God almighty
And the pressures of the market place
The human race has civilized itself
It's a miracle

We cower in our shelters with our hands over our ears
Lloyd-Webber's awful stuff runs for years and years and years
An earthquake hits the theater, but the operetta lingers
Then the piano lid comes down and breaks his fucking fingers
It's a miracle.
