Songtexte: Roger Waters. In The Flesh. It's A Miracle.

Miraculous you call it babe, you ain't seen nothing yet
They got Pepsi in the Andes, they got Mc Donald's in Tibet
Yosemite's 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 marketplace
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 Porsche, 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 marketplace
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 and years and years

An earthquake hits the theater
But the operetta lingers
Then the piano lid comes down
Breaks his fucking fingers
It's a miracle

Waters, Roger
