Let It Be Lyrics - Chumbawamba

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
