International disaster, gonna be a blaster
Gonna rearrange our lives
International disaster, send for the master
Don't wait to see the white of his eyes
International disaster, international disaster
Price of silver droppin' so do yer Christmas shopping

These guys had 1? album, here they had to hire a bass player as Pete Townsend was bass on the hit, as well as producer
the drummer on the studio version was the singer so the stage act needed a drummer too
