Tailspin Lyrics

    Huge tailspin¡ºis the world gonna win?
    Is the nation gonna open up and let us in?
    Hard luck! your policies suck¡º
    Your rhetoric will save your face, but not your skin

    This time¡ºit's hard to define
    So watch the leaves turn brown for the last time
    Too late! you've sealed our fate¡º
    No returns, no emergency debate... but wait!

    I hate unhappy endings¡ºand there doesn't have to be one!


    Tailspin¡ºyour hair's getting thin
    ****
    ****
    Your rhetoric will save your face, but not your council estates

    Gee¡ºlife is cheap!
    The forests pine and the willows weep
    Checkmate! you've sealed our fate¡º
    The world is way past its sell-by date

    Tailspin¡ºis the world gonna win?
    Tailspin's on the outside looking in
    Tailspin, i repent my sins
    But when i get to heaven will you let me in?
    Tailspin, save our kin, save our skin...

    The message we are sending is a very real one
    The world we are defending could be a very green one
    We hate unhappy endings¡ºand
    There doesn't have to be one!
