Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Miraculous, you call it, babe
You ain't seen nothing yet
They got Pepsi in the Andes
They got McDonald's in Tibet
Yosemite's been turned into a golf course
For the Japs
And the Dead Sea is alive with rap
Between the Tigris and Euphrates
There's a leisure center now
They got all kinds of sports, they got Bermuda shorts
They had sex in Pennsylvania
A Brazilian grew a tree
And a doctor in Manhattan
Saved a dying man for free
[Verse 2]
(It's a miracle) It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
Another miracle
By the grace of God Almighty
And the pressures of the marketplace
The human race has civilized itself
It's a miracle
[Verse 3]
We got warehouses of butter
We got oceans of wine
We got famine when we need it
We got designer crime
We got Mercedes, we got Porsche
Ferrari and Rolls Royce
Yeah, we got choice
[Verse 4]
She said, "Meet me in the garden of Gethsemane, my dear"
The Lord said, "Peter, I can see your house from here"
An honest man finally reaped what he had sown
And a farmer in Ohio has just repaid a loan
[Verse 5]
(It's a miracle) It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
Another miracle
By the grace of God Almighty
And the pressures of the marketplace
The human race has civilized itself
It's a miracle
[Verse 6]
We cower in our shelters
With our hands over our ears
Lloyd-Webber's awful stuff runs for years and years and years and years
An earthquake hits the theater
But the operetta lingers
Then the piano lid comes down
And breaks his fuckin' fingers
It's a miracle
