The factories are closed
The cupboards are bare
It's a background affair, background affair

Background affair, background affair
The problem's unclear
It's not really there
It's a background affair, a background affair
A background affair

It's a background affair, a background affair
The batteries are flat
A dark age is near
It's a background affair, a background affair
We don't really care
A background affair

But there's hope near
It blows through here
Like cool air
You feel all fear disappear

But there's hope near
It blows through here
Like cool air
Your mind's clear
Your mind's clear
You feel all fear disappear
