John Hunter Combo - When New Year Comes Around Lyrics

They say our existence is now on the verge
Of total collapse; scientists urge
Cuts to our comfort
A lifestyle reduced
But I love my lifestyle so they're no use
Science is stupid
They don't understand
We're not in danger, we're safe in God's hands
We're doing what's best, we've done it before
It's all part of a wonderful plan

So tell me more lies!
I will listen.
It's better than thinking out loud
Give me a dollar!
Tell me I'm great!
I'll blissfully follow your crowd
Now the sun may be setting on our time here soon
But that's no reason to talk up doom?
Let's dance and play for one more day
Isn't that what life is for?
Till the whole human race is no more

We've walked this planet millennia now
We've never had problems
Anyhow, global warming and sea-level rise?
Just new challenges for Free Enterprise
Fresh profits to make, lots of jobs, too
So many new things to see and do
And if it goes wrong we can all move to Mars
Or maybe set up on the Moon.
Oh, maybe set up on the Moon.

Now old men point the road ahead
But take that path and our planet is dead
They block their ears and deny the truth of
Libraries of scientific proof
With "Seconds to Midnight" they sit on their hands
Hooked on failed economic plans
If they won't act, only we can
"Get out of the way, Old Man!"

But you tell me more lies!
I will listen.
It's better than thinking out loud
Give me a dollar!
Tell me I'm great!
I'll blissfully follow your crowd
The sun may be setting on our time here soon
But that's no reason to talk up doom?
Ah, et's dance and play for one more day
Isn't that what life is for?
Till the whole human race is no more
Till the whole human race is no more
