Bigger slump and bigger wars and a smaller recovery
Huger slump and greater wars and a shallower recovery
Dum, dum, dum, de dum dum
De duh de duh de dum dum dum, ah ah
Lyrics of Ping Pong by Stereolab, 2006:
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
Dum, dum, dum, de dum dum
De duh de duh de dum dum dum, ah ah
Dum, dum, dum, de dum dum
De duh de duh de dum dum dum, ah ah
