lyrics

Cool and In Control

There's some young men walking down the street
So cool and in control
There's a politician smiling through a web of deceit
So cool and in control
There's a man who's putting poison in my food
So cool and in control
He's telling me that it's doing me good

No sweat, in our sun tan lotion
No fear of betraying an emotion
We've got the power, we've got the latest fad
'Cos we're so cool and you're all so sad

There's a drug pusher driving some sleek black wheels
So cool and in control
Behind his shades he's got a clean pair of heels
So cool and in control
Behind tinted glass, behind locked doors
So cool and in control
You can't see his eyes but he can see yours

No sweat, in our sun tan lotion...

British standard men in British standard trousers
So cool and in control
Cockney whizzkids by the score up and darn the arzes
So cool and in control
Every DJ on every radio station
So cool and in control
Stripper leaving nothing to the imagination

No sweat, in our sun tan lotion...

Great big fish in very small ponds
So cool and in control
The American dream with its magic wand
So cool and in control
The madman who keeps his country in chains
So cool and in control
The world with a burger in its hand and no brains.

No sweat, in our sun tan lotion...

There's jazzmen twiddling on saxophones
So cool and in control
A baby in a nappy with a mobile phone
So cool and in control
The General ordering his men to drop the bomb
So cool and in control
God in www.heaven.com

No sweat, in our sun tan lotion...

From our computer screens we can all print out
So cool and in control
In black and white without a shadow of a doubt
So cool and in control
There's a woman who's telling me what to think
So cool and in control
She's telling me that this ship can't sink

No sweat, in our sun tan lotion...(X2)
