It’s a Miracle

Miraculous you call it babe
You ain’t seen nothing yet
They’ve got Pepsi in the Andes
They’ve got McDonalds in Tibet

Yosemite’s been turned into
A golf course for the Japs
The Dead Sea is alive with rap

Between the Tigris and Euphrates
There’s a leisure centre now
They’ve got all kinds of sports
They’ve got Bermuda shorts

They had sex in Pennsylvania
A Brazilian grew a tree
A doctor in Manhattan
Saved a dying man for free

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’ve got warehouses of butter
We’ve got oceans of wine
We’ve got famine when we need it
Got designer crime

We’ve got Mercedes
We’ve got Porsche
Ferrari and Rolls Royce
Yeah, we’ve got choice

She said meet me
In the Garden of Gethsemene my dear
The Lord said Peter I can see
Your house from here

An honest family man
Finally reaped what he had sown
A farmer in Ohio has just repaid a loan

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 cower in our shelters
With our hands over our ears
Lloyd-Webber’s awful stuff
Runs for years and years and years…..

An earthquake hits the theater
But the operetta lingers
Then the piano lid comes down
And breaks his fucking fingers

It’s a miracle

Written and performed by ROGER WATERS
