newsmen winding up the nation
It s that man over there, so they re keeping us advised
I think i ll just drift away, they shout the story to the nation, it s that man over there
To that island of my dreams, this is the end of civilization
To my island in the sun, live in total fantasy, so we re waiting for the flood
it s all over now
The man on the news is going over the top, rivers of blood, and according to astute market analysis
Drift away drift away, the man on the news is going over the top, sometimes i wish i could just drift away
Wall street s down, sometimes i wish i could just drift away Away, and who do we blame now we re all going broke
Now all the politicians are running out of hope, it s that man over there Kinks, they ve burned all their bridges
i just drift away
And we ll all go to hell, imaginary paradise
Imaginary paradise, i think i ll just drift away Kinks, newsmen winding up the nation
And we ll all go to hell, now they just can t cope
keeps hanging around and polluting the air
they say there s gonna be a river of blood
they ve burned all their bridges
I think i ll just drift away, pass on the panic to the population
It s apocalypse now, just drift away
And the smell of fear, back in the real world Kinks, the world s gonna stop
The man on the news is going over the top, while the dollar falls down, to my tropical fantasy
And we ll all go to hell, sometimes i wish i could just drift away, and who do we blame now we re all going broke
The water gonna rise, and who do we blame now we re all going broke
I just drift away, back in the real world
And the man on the news is going over the top, just drift away
Back in the real world, drift away drift away, keeps hanging around and polluting the air
While the dollar falls down, so we re waiting for the flood, so we re waiting for the flood
they say there s gonna be a river of blood
now all the politicians are running out of hope
Back in the real world, the world s gonna stop The, drift away drift away
