Don’t Hold Your Breath

The biggest companies in the World in conference In Geneva by the lakeside Warm smiles friendly faces Peace proposals in briefcases Lines of borders on the map on the table They replace with dotted lines We read about it in free newspapers Then they started to unwind Within a week all the refugees of the world Lived in five-star hotels Twеnty-four hour room-service free Telеphone- no bills And the trucks got through to Africa Into Eritrea and the Sudan Laden down with western surplus It served it's purpose Eased a conscience or two She said don't fool me know I believe every word that you said Don't hold out while it's sounding so good Don't fool around when what you Believe could come true Don't hold your breath Don't hold your breath US congress voted Texas back to the Mexicans California to the Jews Huge tracts of Arizona to the Navajo Nevada to the Sioux The twelve tribes of Israel got down In Gaza for the last time By the time they got to the West Bank baby it was Palestine The French stopped nuking the Pacific They planted trees in Brazil instead And they made Antarctica a world park baby Plenty of ozone above your head She said don't fool me know I believe every word that you said Don't hold out while it's Sounding so good darling Don't fool around when what you Believe could come true Don't hold your breath Don't hold your breath All my innocence long since turned to dust I carry my cynicism like a Tourist with a camera yeah You and me my sweet darling We'll grow old with Grace And our children grow up in The valley of Love they'll be so damn well Educated so well informed And we'll sit back with our arms folded Watch them change it watch it burn She said don't fool me now I believe every word that you said Don't hold your breath Don't hold your breath Don't hold your breath Don't hold your breath
