Lyrics Roger Waters

Roger Waters

It's a Miracle

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,

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

A doctor in Manhattan, saved a dying man for free

Hm

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

Hm

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

It's a miracle

Another miracle

By the grace of God Almighty And the pressures of the marketplace

The human race has civilized itself

Hm

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

An earthquake hits the theatre

But the operetta lingers

Then the piano lid comes down

and breaks his fucking fingers

It's a miracle.
