RAINBOW LYRICS
"Can't Happen Here" (1980 Single)
1. Can't Happen Here
2. Jealous Lover
1. Can't Happen Here
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?
2. Jealous Lover
Lost and lonely, clouds hide the sun
Out on a highway, it's all you can run
Cold empty nights, devils in my head
It's something I've been, oh baby something you said
And it's hard to discover
That you're just another jealous lover
And it's so tough to take
That you're making no mistake jealous lover
Oh girl don't want no other
Shades of red, eyes of green
She's got me waiting, there's no inbetween
Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies
Still you keep thinking that it's all paradise
And it's hard to discover
You're like any other jealous lover
And you say I'm afraid
That you're making no mistake, no
In the day it's the same, the faces and the names
How long can I go on playing this game
So I live for the night, salt and the lights
To really love you and tomorrow they might
But it's hard to face
No one else tales your place jealous lover
And they say that's the breaks
But I got what it takes jealous lover, oh
I'm a jealous lover
Jealous lover
Don't need no, don't need no, don't need no other
Jealous lover, yeah
Jealous lover, oh
Jealous lover,
