Rainbow - Can't Happen Here Lyrics






Contaminated fish and micro chips
Huge supertankers on Arabian trips
Oily propaganda from the leader's lips
All about the future
There's people over here, people over there
Everybody's looking for a little more air
Crossing all the borders just to take their share
Planning for the future

[Refrain:]
And we're so abused, and we're so confused
It's easy to believe that someone's gonna light the fuse
Can't happen here, can't happen here
All that you fear they're telling you, can't happen here

Supersonic planes for a holiday boom
Rio de Janeiro in an afternoon
People out of work but there's people on the moon
Looking for the future
Concrete racetracks nationwide
Juggernauts carving up the countryside
Cars by the million on a one way ride
Using up the future

[Refrain]

Satellites sprying for the CIA
The KGB and the man in grey
Wonder if I'm gonna see another day
Somewhere in the future
We got everything we need for a peaceful time
Take what you want but you can't take mine
Everybody's living on the Siegfried Line
Worried about the future

And we're so abused, and we're so confused
It's so easy to believe someone's gonna light it
Easy to believe someone's gonna light the fuse
Can't happen here, can't happen here
All that you fear they're telling you, can't
Happen here, can it?

    Lyrics:
    Contaminated fish and micro chips
    Huge supertankers on arabian trips
    Oily propaganda from the leaders lips
    All about the future
    Theres people over here, people over there
    Everybodys looking for a little more air
    Crossing all the borders just to take their share
    Planning for the future
    And were so abused, and were so confused
    Its easy to believe that someones gonna light the fuse
    Cant happen here, cant happen here
    All that you fear theyre telling you, cant happen here
    Supersonic planes for a holiday boom
    Rio de janeiro in an afternoon
    People out of work but theres people on the moon
    Looking for the future
    Concrete racktracks nationwide
    Juggernauts carving up the countryside
    Cars by the million on a one way ride
    Using up the future
    And were so abused, and were so confused
    Its easy to believe that someones gonna light the fuse
    Cant happen here, cant happen here
    All that you fear theyre telling you, cant happen here
    Satellites spying for the cia
    The kgb and the men in grey
    Wonder if Im gonna see another day
    Somewhere in the future
    We got everything we need for a peaceful time
    Take what you want but you cant take mine
    Everybodys living on the siegfried line
    Worried bout the future
    And were so abused, and were so confused
    Its so easy to believe that someones gonna light it
    Easy to believe someones gonna light the fuse
    Cant happen here, cant happen here
    All that you fear theyre telling you, cant happen here can it?

  24. G.... U....

  31. M.... ....

    It would be great if Ritchie Blackmore got back together with Joe Lynn Turner to release a new studio album. Joe's one of the best in business right now and he more than deserves a reunion. The time is right for an over the top reunion of this band.
