We've prayed today (la-da-da-da-dah)
Everything is OK (bong de bong)
We've played today

Late at night on the underground train
Through endless suburbs in endless pain
Deep in the tunnel under the London rain
Suddenly we hear Mike Post again

Everything is all right (bong de bong)
We've prayed today (la-da-da-da-dah)
If there really is a God (bong de bong)
We should be laid today

[verse]
But late at night we find the racing tame
We're faced with women and a reality game
We feel alive, we feel new and blind
We're hearing Mike Post in the air this time
Everything is all right (bong de bong)
We've prayed today (la-da-da-da-dah)
If there really is a God (bong de bong)
We should get laid today
There comes a time in every little punk's life
Where he has to write a song for his common-law wife
We make our women wait until they wanna scream
But we can always whistle that Mike Post theme
Everything is all right (bong de bong)
We've prayed today (la-da-da-da-dah)
If there really is a God (bong de bong)
We should get laid today
We watch those films that make men cry
Young lovers kiss then fight and die
We start to yearn, we climb the vine
We have to face the truth some time
|A5 |A5 |A5 |A5 |A5 |
