"So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish" est le quatrième extrait de l'album après "The Doomed", "Disillusioned" et "Talk Talk". Le morceau est ici servi par une vidéo en noir et blanc dépeignant une Amérique qui ressemble fort à celle de l'époque de la Guerre Froide. Avec un ton grinçant, voire acide et provocateur envers une certaine Amérique puritaine, consommatrice et conservatrice, les personnages mis en scène sont présentés comme totalement en décalage avec les problèmes auxquels ils font face, symbole d'un monde qui va mal, qui va droit dans le mur, et qui est déjà condamné... Un véritable leitmotiv pour cet album dont le ton était déjà donné dès les présentations de "The Doomed" et "Disillusioned". L'album Eat The Elephant est en écoute intégrale sur Youtube.
Time is money and money's time / We wasted every second dime
On diets, lawyers, shrinks and apps / And flags, and plastic surgery
Now Willy Wonka, Major Tom / Ali and Leia have moved on
Signal the final curtain call / In all its atomic pageantry
Bravissimo, hip-hip hooray / For this fireworks display
Mind and body blown away / What a radiant crescendo
Ticker tape parade / Our hair and skin
Like Marilyn Monroe / In an afterwind
Time is money and money's time / We wasted every second dime
On politicians, fancy water / And guns, and plastic surgery
Like our Prince and Reenie's mom / All the dolphins have moved on
Signaling the final curtain call / In all its atomic pageantry
Bravissimo, hip-hip hooray / What a glorious display
Melt our joyous hearts away / Under the mushroom cloud confetti
Hip-hip hooray / For this fireworks display
Mind and body blown away / What a radiant crescendo
Hip-hip hooray / Hip-hip hooray
Ticker tape parade / Our hair and skin
Like Marilyn Monroe / In an afterwind
On diets, lawyers, shrinks and apps / And flags, and plastic surgery
Now Willy Wonka, Major Tom / Ali and Leia have moved on
Signal the final curtain call / In all its atomic pageantry
Bravissimo, hip-hip hooray / For this fireworks display
Mind and body blown away / What a radiant crescendo
Ticker tape parade / Our hair and skin
Like Marilyn Monroe / In an afterwind
Time is money and money's time / We wasted every second dime
On politicians, fancy water / And guns, and plastic surgery
Like our Prince and Reenie's mom / All the dolphins have moved on
Signaling the final curtain call / In all its atomic pageantry
Bravissimo, hip-hip hooray / What a glorious display
Melt our joyous hearts away / Under the mushroom cloud confetti
Hip-hip hooray / For this fireworks display
Mind and body blown away / What a radiant crescendo
Hip-hip hooray / Hip-hip hooray
Ticker tape parade / Our hair and skin
Like Marilyn Monroe / In an afterwind
