It's a miracle

Miraculous, you call it, babe
You ain’t seem nothin’ yet

They got Pepsi in the Andes
They got MacDonald’s in Tibet

Yosemite’s been turned into a golf course… for the Japs .
And the Dead Sea is alive … with rap.
Between the Tigris and Euphrates… There’s a leisure centre now:
They got all kinds of sports. They got Bermuda shorts.
 They have sex in Pennsylvania.
A Brazilian grew a tree,
And a doctor in Manhattan,… Save a dying man for free

It’s a miracle,
It’s a miracle,
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 got warehouses of butter,
We got oceans of wine,
We got famine when we need it,
We got designer crime.
We got Mercedes, We got Porsche,
Ferrari and Rolls-Royce.
We got choice.

She said, meet me in the Gordon of Gethsemane, my dear.
The Lord said, Peter, I can see your house from here.
An honest man finally, reaped what he had sown
And a farmer in Ohio, has just repaid a loan.

It’s a miracle.
It’s a miracle.
It’s a miracle.
Another miracle.

We cower in our shelters,
With our hands over our ears,
Lloyd Webber’s awful stuff, runs for years and years and years and years and …

An earthquake hits the theatre
But the operetta lingers,
Then the piano lid comes down,
Breaks his fucking fingers.

It’s a miracle.
