letra de don't hold your breath - dave dobbyn

the biggest companies in the world in conference
in geneva by the lakeside
warm smiles friendly faces
peace proposals in briefcases
lines of borders on the map on the table
they replace with dotted lines
we read about it in free newspapers

then they started to unwind
within a week all the refugees of the world
lived in five-star hotels
twеnty-four hour room-service free telеphone- no bills
and the trucks got through to africa into eritrea and the sudan
laden down with western surplus it served it’s purpose
eased a conscience or two
she said don’t fool me know
i believe every word that you said
don’t hold out while it’s sounding so good
don’t fool around when what you believe could come true
don’t hold your breath
don’t hold your breath

us congress voted texas back to the mexicans
california to the jews
huge tracts of arizona to the navajo
nevada to the sioux
the twelve tribes of israel got down in gaza for the last time
by the time they got to the west bank baby it was palestine
the french stopped nuking the pacific
they planted trees in brazil instead
and they made antarctica a world park baby
plenty of ozone above your head

she said don’t fool me know
i believe every word that you said
don’t hold out while it’s sounding so good darling
don’t fool around when what you believe could come true
don’t hold your breath
don’t hold your breath

all my innocence long since turned to dust
i carry my cynicism like a tourist with a camera yeah
you and me my sweet darling we’ll grow old with grace
and our children grow up in the valley of love
they’ll be so d-mn well educated so well informed
and we’ll sit back with our arms folded
watch them change it
watch it burn
she said don’t fool me now
i believe every word that you said
don’t hold your breath
don’t hold your breath
don’t hold your breath
don’t hold your breath
