It's alright, 'cos the historical pattern has shown
how the economical cycle tends to revolve.
In a round of decades, three stages stand out in a loop:
a slump, and war, then peel back to square one and back for more.

Bigger slump, and bigger wars, and a smaller recovery.
Huger slump, and greater wars, and a shallower recovery.

You see? The recovery always comes 'round again.
There's nothing to worry for things will look after themselves.
It's alright, recovery always comes 'round again.
There's nothing to worry if things can only get better.

There's only millions that lose their jobs and homes and, sometimes, accents.
There's only millions that die in their bloody wars. It's alright.

It's only their lives and the lives of their next of kin that they are losing. [x2]

Don't worry, be happy: things will get better naturally.
Don't worry, shut up, sit down: go with it and be happy.
