lyrics

War will stop, you'll see, and everybody will
Celebrate live on TV, you know what?
The devil will commit some kind of suicide!
The Africans will eat Italian cuisine
And happiness will only be routine
The pain will stop and a good old bop will shake the dancefloor
But it ain't gonna happen today...
It ain't gonna happen!

Money will disappear and all the rich guys
Will work the land as volunteers,
And Wall Street suddenly will care about the whole mankind.
W. will drive an electric car
And the Pope's gonna put his faith in a jar
The pain will stop and a good old bop will shake the dancefloor
But it ain't gonna happen today...
It ain't gonna happen!

There'll be no wars, no soldiers,
No guns, no murders,
No politics to blame.
There'll be no lies, no priests,
No fear, no beasts,
There'll be no filthy games.
No rulers, no rules,
No villains, no fools,
No prisons, no escapes.
There'll be no wrong, no right,
No black, no white,
And freedom's gonna get a real face
But it ain't gonna happen today...
It ain't gonna happen!
