Roger Waters Lyrics

Album: Amused to Death

It's A Miracle Lyrics

Miraculous you call it babe

You ain't seen nothing yet

They got Pepsi in the Andes

They got McDonalds 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 centre 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 Gethsemene 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

An earthquake hits the theatre

But the operetta lingers

Then the piano lid comes down

And breaks his fucking fingers

It's a miracle
