Stereolab - "Ping Pong"

It's alright, 'cause the historical pattern has shown  
How the economical cycle tends to revolve  
In a round of decades three stages stand out in a loop 
A slump and war then peel back to square one and back for more
 
Bigger slump and bigger wars and a smaller recovery  
Huger slump and greater wars and a shallower recovery
 
You see the recovery always comes 'round again  
There's nothing to worry for things will look after themselves  
It's alright, recovery always comes 'round again 
There's nothing to worry if things can only get better
 
There's only millions that lose their jobs  
And homes and sometimes accents  
There's only millions that die in their bloody wars, it's alright
It's only their lives and the lives of their next of kin that they are losing  

Don't worry be happy things will get better naturally  
Don't worry, shut up, sit down, go with it and be happy
