Order 1081 David Byrne & Fatboy Slim (Ft. Natalie Merchant)

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 barrel of a gun
The solution to disruption, Order 1081

Now the sunsets are incredible across Manila Bay
You can hear the bombers landing at the U.S. Air Force base
And somewhere in the distance, out beyond the setting sun
They will sign a proclamation, Order 1081

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Now we live down by the water in a shack that’s made of wood
And the bankers need to huddle, so they need some extra room
We will find us somewhere better, there’s enough for everyone
Got a perfect explanation, Order 1081

I thought I ordered coffee but they gave me 7-Up
Got to clear away these shanties and these ugly nipa huts
So the seeds of our great future, they can grow here when we’re done
And it’s clearly all because of Order 1081

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
