[Verse 1]
Factories in the Philippines
Are cutting holes in brand new jeans
For cutting edge consumers
Rich kids in the West, you see
They have no sense of irony
And I'm losing my sense of humour

[Verse 2]
All across the ruined sky
Vapour trails multiply
Trade winds are getting stronger
While we sip Shiraz and chill
They bring us apples from Brazil
New diseases from the Congo

[Chorus]
I haven't prayed since God knows when
My teeth are un-American
Socialism's orphan child
Unimpressed, unreconciled
Some people think I'm crazy but I'm not
Here comes the flood
Here comes the flood

[Verse 3]
A million TV dishes crown
The skyline of shanty town
Everywhere our aspiration
The word from CNN arrives
We watch the headlines of our lives
Each marooned in isolation
The cool blue light of isolation
[Chorus]
I haven't prayed since God knows when
My teeth are un-American
Socialism's orphan child
Unimpressed, unreconciled
Some people think I'm crazy but I'm not
Here comes the flood
Here comes the flood

[Verse 4]
Democracy for planet Earth
They roll it out like Astroturf
Busy men, they are all in a hurry
So cheer and wear a stupid grin
Watch 'em roll the bankers in
Only the bad guys amongst us need to worry

[Chorus]
I haven't prayed since God knows when
My teeth are un-American
Socialism's orphan child
Unimpressed, unreconciled
Some people think I'm crazy but I'm not
Here comes the flood
Here comes the flood
[Outro]
Here, here comes the flood
Here, here comes the flood
Here comes the flood
