It's A Miracle

Roger Waters · In The Flesh [2007]

Miraculous you call it babe

You ain't seen nothing yet

They've got Pepsi in the Andes

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've got all kinds of sports

They've got Bermuda shorts

They had sex in Pennsylvania



A Brazilian grew a tree

A doctor in Manhattan

Saved a dying man for free

It's a miracle



Another Miracle

By the grace of God Almighty

And the pressures of the marketplace

The human race has civilized itself



It's a miracle

We've got warehouses of butter

We've got oceans of wine

We've got famine when we need it



Got designer crime

We've got Mercedes

We've got Porsche

Ferrari and Rolls Royce



We've 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 family man

Finally reaped what he had sown

A farmer in Ohio has just repaid a loan



It's a miracle

By the grace of God Almighty

And the pressures of the marketplace

The human race has civilized itself



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

An earthquake hits the theater

But the operetta lingers

Then the piano lid comes down



And breaks his fucking fingers

It's a miracle
