Well the west wakes up to a terror attack But they got enough muscle for to give it right back Now the warmongers are happy They know that they can't lose They picked a good day for to bury bad news And all the latest figures talk of rising crime While offenders are released before they've served their time But they're happy down in Brussels They know that we can't choose They picked a good day for to bury bad news We've got a military stand-off While they can't agree to peace And political solutions Are always out of reach A giant asteroid passed close by last night Well this one didn't hit us but the next one might But the scientists are puzzled They're looking for the clues They picked a good day for to bury bad news While all the floods and famine And the cyclone's rage Of biblical proportions Can't even make the front page I said: "Hold on a second there's a late news flash" Billions wiped off as the high techs crash But the ministers are happy They know that they can't lose They picked a good day for to bury bad news They can't bury bad news, they can't bury bad news They can't bury bad news, they can't bury bad news
