Chumbawamba - Let It Be lyrics

rate me

And this is Steve Wright, we hope that those that lost relatives in this terrible disaster may be able to have a better life as a result of this great record

This great record

This great record

(repeat)

Watchers pray in times of trouble

Restless by the harbor wall

Waiting for the stormy winds to fall

With microphone and TV camera

Money and tears and a song to sing

This is where the buy and sell begins

For media and for industry

Consumers of the world agree

Nothing sells like disaster, let it be

This manufactured sympathy, drowing in hypocrisy

Smiles to clinch the deals to boost the sales

All the owners of the printing presses

And postars crying phony tears

Nothing bleeds like the hearts of the millionaires

For the charts and the state machine

Consumers of the world agree

Nothing sells like disaster, let it be

Greed and lies and economics

A captains' crew to make the rules

And a band to play the waltz on this ship of fools

Media sales

Media sales

For profit, stars, and company

Consumers of the world agree

Nothing sells like disaster, let it be

Nothing sells like disaster, let it be
