Lyrics

bad things happen all the time

neutron john shines like the sun in the sky
and he thinks to himself with a sigh
?bad things happen all the time round here, oh I could tell you some stories, let me whisper in your ear?

richard nixon gave us the thumbs up
richard nixon gave us the thumbs up
richard nixon gave us the thumbs up

on bligh reef a ship runs aground and the spoils drift in silence into the sound
these things happen all the time round here
you want to make something of it? you want to make this problem disappear

richard nixon gave us the thumbs up
richard nixon gave us the thumbs up
richard nixon gave us the thumbs up
harry truman gave us the thumbs up
eisenhower gave us the thumbs up
lyndon johnson gave us the thumbs up
richard nixon gave us the thumbs up
gerald ford gave us the thumbs up
jimmy carter gave us the thumbs up
ronald reagan gaves us tears

these stars around you are the bars of a cage you?ll never see
i swallow you whole, see you hiding inside of me
cut me open, look! Look! i become as unlikely as you are beautiful

milton friedman gave us the thumbs up
margaret thatcher gave us the thumbs up
leon brezhnev gave us the thumbs up
mao tse tung gave us the thumbs up
charles de gaulle gave us the thumbs up
helmut köhl gave us the thumbs up

VP Singh and mackensie king both of them
gave us the thumbs up
boris yeltzin gave us the thumbs up
