A bomb went off this morninga€”raining bodies on TV
|
They are blaming the insurgents, they are blocking off the streets
|
And the smoke is rising slowly, from the barrel of a gun
|
The solution to disruptiona€”Order 1081
|
|
Now the sunsets are incredible across Manila Bay
|
You can hear the bombers landing at the U.S. Air Force base
|
And somewhere in the distance, out beyond the setting sun
|
They will sign a proclamationa€”Order 1081
|
|
Now we live down by the water in a shack that's made of wood
|
And the bankers need to huddlea€”so they need some extra room
|
We will find us somewhere better, there's enough for everyone
|
Got a perfect explanationa€”Order 1081
|
|
I thought I ordered coffee but they gave me 7Up
|
Got to clear away these shanties and these ugly nipa huts
|
So the seeds of our great future, they can grow here when we're done
|
And it's clearly all because of Order 1081
|
|
For thirty days the rain fell, we were nearly washed away
|
The radio fell silent, nothing left to do but pray
|
And the senator he told us the guerrillas are on the run
|
And the reason they are hiding?a€”Order 1081
|
|
They are planting plastic flowers on the seaside esplanade
|
The Pope is speaking Spanish but we can't hear what he says
|
Got to stop all this confusion, got to wipe away this scum
|
And the way to make it happena€”Order 1081
|
|
It's amazing that the soldiers somehow all know how to dance
|
It's amazing how the soldiers keep the creases in their pants
|
Now it's safe to walk the streets at nighta€”a new world has begun
|
Ev'rybody's sleeping soundlya€”thanks to 1081
