Green fireworks of 91
You were told it was about oil,
Now there's a war in Europa
And plenty more in the cupboard,
No derricks on this land
And you don't understand

Seems like Groucho's Freedonia
Is alive in nearby Slavia
When this silly duck walking
Turns into goose stepping

You've never learned from History
Here comes more insanity,
Two maffias have merged, have merged
in the World Company Unlimited
Never learn from History

Demagogues came into power
And friendly human beings,
I'd better say puppets on strings
Become ruthless murderers

War is still the best way
Of dictating submission
And also the drastic solution
Not to pay you on the dole,
The more destructions you get
The more they will invest

You've never learned from History
Here comes more insanity,
Two maffias have merged, have merged
in the World Company Unlimited

Voiceless, hopeless
We had no past,
We got to bow
Just like tomorrow,
Less than tools and rats
More like stone and grass

El sub at the controls
Calls on new solutions
El sub at the controls
Calls for revolution,
El sub at the controls
Here comes revolution

Mountains told us
To hide our red face,
Rivers whispered
- curb Authority -,
Winds kept telling us
To use wile and guns

El sub at the controls
Calls on new solutions
El sub at the controls
Calls for revolution,
El sub at the controls
Here comes revolution

We’re neither soldiers
Nor politicians,
We’d rather be dancers
And street musicians,
Let’s party on the market place
Let’s forget the place of the Market

Lucy has joined a call center
Dreaming of a bright future,
She'll just need an atomic smile
And to pretend being servile,

This is the new economy
Cool jobs and easy money
This is the new economy

Same old pain and misery !

Everyday's a competition
She'd better be the champion,
When she keeps the highest score
Her photo's pinned on the wall,

Another clone of Stakhanov
Joe Stalin is back in obs
Another clone of Stakhanov

Same old pain and misery !

She read it in a magazine :
"Be lazy - just call us"
But if she dares to take a break
Her phone will raise a red alert,

"You will rest when you are dead"
Goes one of the firm adverts
"You will rest when you are dead"

Same old pain and misery !

It only took a few weeks
Before she learned the tricks,
There's nothing like a sick pay
To make her day, make her day,

This is the new economy
Tedious jobs and poor money

Old and new economy
Same old pain and misery

There was a rumble in Seattle
They even closed the Stock Exchange
When it appeared to be a battle
The right time for radical change

There was a rumble in Seattle
Then a huge rally in Millau,
This is the sound of the real world
In the year of the triple 0

This world is not for sale - not for sale
This world is not for sale - not for sale
This world is not for sale
