Stereolab - Ping Pong lyrics

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
A slump and war
Then peel back to square one
And back 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 comes 'round again
There's nothing to worry for
Things will look after themselves
It's alright
Recovery always comes 'round again
There's nothing to worry if 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 their 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
A slump and war
Then peel back to square one
And back 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
