Ping Pong (demo) Songtext
von Stereolab

It′s alright 'cause the historical pattern has shown
How the economical cycle tends to revolve
Into a round of decades, three stages stand out in a loop
Slump and war, then heal and back to square one for more

Bigger slump and bigger wars and a smaller recovery
Huger slump and greater wars and a shallower recovery

You see the recovery always pops ′round again
There's nothing to worry for things will look after themselves
It's alright, recovery always pops ′round again
There′s nothing to worry for things can only get better


There's only millions that lose their jobs and homes and sometimes accents
There′s only millions that die in the bloody wars, it's alright
It′s only their lives and the lives of their next of kin that they are losing
It's only their lives and the lives of their next of kin that they are losing

It′s alright 'cause the historical pattern has shown
How the economical cycle tends to revolve
In a round of decades, three stages stand out in a loop
Slump and war, then heal and back to square one for more

Bigger slump and bigger wars and a smaller recovery
Huger slump and greater wars and a shallower recovery

Don't worry, be happy, things will get better naturally
Don′t worry, shut up, sit down, go with it and be happy
