Lyrics
The wars are all done and the generals have gone home
The city offices are closed, there's no-one to man the phones
And there are no more elephants in the room
We no longer use money, our currency is trust
The world's refrained from worry and meditates on love
And there are no more elephants in the room
We've pinned the past, we're free at last
From all the confusion
We've won the day, it's what we made
A quiet revolution
Wars, greed and all that's absurd
Is strictly for the birds
We're watching stars and rainbows,
Cause television's dead
And nothing is a problem, we've found our innocence
And there are no more elephants in the room
The shopping malls are empty, people are playing in the fields
And everything's forgiven, the pain of centuries is healed
And there are no more elephants in the room
We've binned the past, we're free at last
From all the confusion
We've won the day, it's what we made
A quiet revolution
War, greed and all that's absurd
Is strictly for the birds
It's strictly for the birds
