PEOPLE JUST WANNA FLIRT ON FRIDAY NIGHTS

Nobody cares about a world gone wrong
And nobody listens to a protest song
And nobody cares about the church
And nobody wants to strive or search
People just wanna see the clubland lights
People just wanna flirt on Friday nights

Nobody cares about the Stock Exchange
How the country is ruled or what our allies arrange
If we're ruled from Brussels or ruled from home
If we keep or demolish the Millennium Dome
If recession hits,if recession bites
People just wanna flirt on Friday nights

And no-one cares about the total eclipse
Or the impending Apocolypse
And no-one cares that a killer is loose
Death in the streets or drug abuse
And no-one cares about human rights
People just wanna flirt on Friday nights

And no-one cares if the country is attacked
Or if the status quo remains intact
If we pollute every sea and stream
And we never hear the silent scream
If the nation surrenders,if the nation fights
People just wanna flirt on Friday nights

And nobody cares for the posing Posh Spice
Or listens to the great guru's advice
Nobody wants to know why? or how?
Everyone wants the here and the now
People wanna get high as high as kites
People just wanna flirt on Friday nights

And no-one lives in fear of the flood
Or cares about the spilling of blood
And no-one cares about who downloads
Hard-core stuff that corrupts and corrodes
Nobody wants life's simple delights
People just wanna flirt on Friday nights

And nobody cares for the countryside
If it's killed completely and urbanised
No-one cares for the clean rural air
Nobody wants to stand and to stare
At all of nature's beautiful sights
People just wanna flirt on Friday nights

And nobody cares about the Monarchy
The House Of Lords or democracy
Or what is deemed politically correct
Who we select,reject or elect
If they be gays,straights,blacks or whites
People just wanna flirt on Friday nights

And no-one cares for servants and slaves
Or how the bullying boss behaves
No-one cares about famine and drought
Those with everything,those without
The tycoon,the pauper their contrasting plights
People just wanna flirt on Friday nights

No-one would care should a skyscraper fall
Or if they re-build the Berlin wall
No-one cares about vivesection
The rampant virus or child selection
The perils scientific invention invites
People just wanna flirt on Friday nights

And nobody cares wether we can
Obliterate the Taliban
Or where the bearded one resides
If in a mountain cave he hides
Or if they hijack transatlantic flights
People just wanna flirt on Friday nights

Everybody follows fads and fashion
Mobile phones are everyone's passion
Everyone wants more money to spend
People only save for a wild weekend
When they drink themselves to dizzy heights
People just wanna flirt on Friday nights

They say Father John is going insane
Because he's commenced a peace campaign
He's become obsessed with fighting crime
Instead of fighting for a constant good time
He writes a writ and the writ he writes
Is "People just wanna flirt on Friday nights!"

They believe the one who can save their souls
Is the shaven-haired God who scores simple goals
Or the idol they see each night on the screen
In the same old script and the same old scene
And no-one cares if a fire egnites
People just wanna flirt on Friday nights

And no-one anywhere could care less
About the murdered president or dead princess
Because some seek solace in the underground
Where they get out sight and out of sound
Because nobody listens to a protest song
And nobody cares about a world gone wrong
