Ping Pong Lyrics - Singles - Stereolab

It's alright, 'cause the historical pattern has shown 

How the economical cycle tends to revolve 

In a round of decades three stages stand out in a loop 

A slump and war then peel back to square one and back for more 

Bigger slump and bigger wars and a smaller recovery 

Huger slump and greater wars and a shallower recovery 

You see the recovery always comes 'round again 

There's nothing to worry for things will look after themselves 

It's alright, recovery always comes 'round again 

There's nothing to worry if things can only get better 

There's only millions that lose their jobs 

And homes and sometimes accents 

There's only millions that die in their bloody wars, it's alright 

It's only their lives and the lives of their next of kin that they are losing 

It's only their lives and the lives of their next of kin that they are losing 

It's alright, 'cause the historical pattern has shown 

How the economical cycle tends to revolve 

In a round of decades, three stages stand out in a loop 

A slump and war then peel back to square one and back for more 

Bigger slump and bigger wars and a smaller recovery 

Huger slump and greater wars and a shallower recovery 

Don't worry be happy things will get better naturally 

Don't worry, shut up, sit down, go with it and be happy 

Dum, dum, dum, de dum dum 

De duh de duh de dum dum dum, ah ah 

Dum, dum, dum, de dum dum 

De duh de duh de dum dum dum, ah ah
