The Kinks
When a Solution Comes
Sung by Mr. Black in an attic somewhere in suburbia

When a solution comes
It's gonna breathe right down on everyone
When a solution comes
It's gonna cover up the clouds
And eclipse the sun
And black out a pale blue sky
And everybody's gonna be terrified
Because they're all going to feel the bite
And there's going to be a revolution

When a solution comes
It won't take sides with anyone
Regardless of race or creed
The whole wide world is gonna feel the squeeze
The red, black, yellow and white
And even the Arabs and the Israelites
They're all going to feel the bite
And there's going to be a revolution

I've been searching a long, long time
Looking for a final solution
Searching here, searching there
Searching everywhere
Now my day has finally come
It's time to shout to everyone
I have waited a long, long time
Biding my time and waiting on the sidelines
Watching it all go wrong
Witnessing the disintegration
Rubbing my hands in anticipation
Everybody's searching so desperately
They've got to run to someone
And that someone's going to be me
Yeah, I'm gonna change the world
I'm going to use a little manipulation
I'm going to build a new civilisation
