lyrics

Last night I dreamt of a society where money was a thing of the past
There was no more greed, there was no more need -
we all had seen the light at last
So I woke up this morning and I realised
that the system's gonna have to change
You fat cats in power, your milk's turning sour
The dog you dread is heading your way

It's a meltdown (It's a meltdown)
Run for your life!
It's a meltdown (It's a meltdown)
You know the feeling ain't right

See I dreamt that the world was there for us to share
and we all had a slice of the cake,
but the greatest thing about this new society
was live and give, not take, take, take
We respected one another and we took our time,
side by side, race by race
Peacefully we dwelled in no consumer hell
Can you imagine such a place?

It's a meltdown (It's a meltdown)
Run for your life!
It's a meltdown (It's a meltdown)
You know the feeling ain't right

Politicians of our time, they all be money men
and the earth to them commodity
but it's as plain as day, if we continue this way
disaster for society
You fat cats in power, you come at the hour
Gonna have to change the way we live
And if the bubble bursts, you know you heard it here first
'cause something's gonna have to give

It's a meltdown (It's a meltdown)
Run for your life!
It's a meltdown (It's a meltdown)
You know the feeling ain't right
