Wish (When The Banks Collapse) Lyrics
Your clenched-fist salute
Says "Fight! Fight the power!"
But your charcoal suit
Says something different altogether
It says "I won't dance when the banks collapse..."
So we better be careful with what we wish for
Lost my job and my band
To the laying of a hand
I've still got my love
But I'm not sure how much she'll stand
And I don't have your stone walls
To keep the wolves from my door
I'd love to see you when the streets are turning
I'd love to be you when the whole world's burning
I'd love to see your new world order
I'd love to be your New Business Model
Thom, can I sleep at your house?
Says "Fight! Fight the power!"
But your charcoal suit
Says something different altogether
So we better be careful with what we wish for
To the laying of a hand
I've still got my love
But I'm not sure how much she'll stand
And I don't have your stone walls
To keep the wolves from my door
I'd love to be you when the whole world's burning
I'd love to see your new world order
Thom, can I sleep at your house?
