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 the 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
