A bomb
went off this morning,
raining bodies on TV
They are blaming the insurgents,
they are blocking off the streets
And the smoke is rising slowly
from the bar rel of a gun
The solution to disruption,
Order 1081
Now the sun sets are incredible
across Manila Bay
You can hear the bombers
landing
at the US Air Force Base
Somewhere in
the distance,
out beyond the
setting sun
There was a sign, a proclamation,
Order 1081
Ooh, oo h, oo h
Now we live down by the water
In a shack that's made of wood
And the bankers need to follow
So they need some extra room
We will find us somewhere
better
There's enough for everyone
Got a perfect explanation, order 181
I thought I ordered coffee,
but they gave me serenade
Gotta clear away these shanties
and these ugly need for hugs
So the seeds of
our great future,
they can grow here
when we're done
And it's really all because of
Order 1081
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
For 30 days the rain fell
We were nearly washed away
The radio felt silent
Nothing left to do but pray
And the senator, he told us
The gorillas are on the run
And the reason they are hiding
Order 1081
They're planting plastic flowers
On the seaside esplanade
The Pope is speaking Spanish
But we can't hear what he says
Gotta stop all this confusion
Gotta wipe away the scum
And the way to make it happen
We're not a one -way walk
It's amazing that the soldiers
somehow all know how to dance
It's amazing how the soldiers
keep the creases in their pants
Now it's safe to
walk the streets at night
A new world has begun
Everybody's sleeping soundly
But still wanna wage war ah
You
