Her Master's Voice

Lyrics

No more slaving for the rich
While paying for the privilege
They say, that’s just wishful thinking

No crimson tear, no nation’s rage
No fairy tales from an ancient page
They say, that’s just wishful thinking

No private greed wearing civil robes
No fat cats, thin-lipped toads
They say, that’s just wishful thinking

No Left or Right, no East or West
No first, no last, no worst, no best
They say, that’s just wishful thinking

But strength is found and fear is lost
Times are changed, divides are crossed
And all from a little bit of wishful thinking

Barriers fall and bridges rise
Knowledge is born and ignorance dies
And all from a little bit of wishful thinking

No Mr Jones, no Candy Jack
No drunken monkey on my back
They say, that’s just wishful thinking

No faded wounds keeping us apart
No bitter words, no angry heart
They say, that’s just wishful thinking

No chains of guilt, no ghosts of shame
No need to run, no one to blame
But they say, that’s just wishful thinking

No final act, no toiling bells
Infinite dreams in finite shells
They say, that’s just wishful thinking

But peace is brokered and debts are paid
Wars are ended and friends are made
All from a little bit of wishful thinking

Magic fades, reason grows
Myths decay and intellect glows
All from a little bit of wishful thinking

Dreams begin and nightmares end
Habits break and spirits mend
All from a little bit of wishful thinking

Trust is earned, respect is sown
Hands are held and hearts are grown
And all from a little bit of wishful thinking

Thinking, thinking, thinking
