A Sunset Songtext
von Pulp

I scanned the menu options
I did not have a choice
I′d like to teach the world to sing
But I do not have a voice

So I bought myself a ticket
To the happening of the year
The sky lit up with colors
The crowd let out a cheer

"It's just a sunset," someone said
Something that happens every day
"Yes, it′s a sunset," someone said
But now they've found a way to make it pay

I like to look at pretty things
I like to feast my eyes
Went to see the northern lights
But they were pale and weak
And not as advertised


So now, I'm learning about money
And I′m learning about law
The first rule of economics?
Unhappy people, they spend more

"It′s just a sunset," someone said
Something is coming to an end
"Yes, it's a sunset," someone said
And just exactly how much did you spend?

Oh, I′d like to teach the world to sing
But I do not have a voice
And I'd like to buy the world some time
Some time and a choice

Yes, I′d like to teach the world to sing
But I, I do not have a voice
And I'd like to buy the world some time
Some time
Some time
And a choice
