Lyrics Laissez-Faire (2022 Remaster) - 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
