On Saturday Morning We Will Rule The World

James Dean Bradfield


I fall asleep to the national anthem 
To break the spell of a winter night 
For there is too much I could dream of 
So turn off the TV and the lights 

Because there's something coming 
round the bend 
You could catch it on a tape cassette 
It's no joke and it's no lie 
It's salvation and it's coming fast 

On Thursday morning we will raise the world 
On Friday night we will pay the price 
A Ford Capri and a telephone 
On Saturday morning we will rule the world 

All you need to start a bonfire 
Is the story of a short and tragic life 
And you could see it past the treetops 
In the second hand daylight 
Second hand daylight 

Because there's something coming 
round the bend 
You could catch it on a tape cassette 
It's no joke and it's no lie 
It's salvation and it's coming fast 

On Thursday morning we will raise the world 
On Friday night we will pay the price 
A Ford Capri and a telephone 
On Saturday morning we will rule the world 

On Thursday morning we will raise the world 
On Friday night we will pay the price 
A Ford Capri and a telephone 
On Saturday morning we will rule the world
