Lyrics Laissez Faire - Stereolab

It will come to us as a shock
But we're letting it happen
People with their carelessness
Governments with their laissez faire

Are going to lead us straight to it
That's for sure
History will only repeat itself
Once more

The western world is going
More and more right wing yearning
For some sort of protection
Too scared to do anything

Not to take the path that's
Dragging us down, oh, no
Remember it's in our
Power not to go down

It will come to us as a shock
But we're letting it happen
People with their carelessness
Governments with their laissez faire

I can feel it more and more
Within ten years we'll have a war
I can feel it more and more
Within ten years we'll have a war

It will come to us as a shock
But we're letting it happen
People with their carelessness
Governments with their laissez faire

The western world is going
More and more right wing yearning
For some sort of protection
Too scared to do anything
