about

Those of us born in the sixties were naively optimistic about the future. We took a left-hand turn somewhere...

lyrics

well I'm glad to see you've woken up ok
in your sleeper pod from the sixties, like Woody Allen
you're gonna see some changes here and there
but nothing major
we still don't have our jetpacks...

the wedding bells are ringing
but we don't know who the bride is
you can bet your life on progress in the dark
stamp all you like on god
you know he'll just squeeze out like toothpaste
all the animals are searching for the ark

so we're standing at the altar with our
brand new ways of seeing
while the technobabble howls on every side
you'll always need an upgrade
but you won't know where to find it
and distraction is the safest place to hide

we've been to the moon
it's just a dusty rock
we tried to love love and peace
but now it seems
we only loved the drugs
we never began
to get our act together
is there anything else?
oh yeah
looks like we broke the weather

well I'm glad to see you're having second thoughts
when all our lives you know they just add up to so much landfill
at least we haven't blown ourselves to bits
though I can't help feeling
you must still be disappointed

the empty tills are ringing
and we just keep printing money
it doesn't count as flying if you fall
with nothing else to live for
we just keep on making babies
line em up
and keep their backs against the wall

we've been to the moon
but not for forty years
we tried to clean up our mess
but look at us
we only made it worse
we never began
to live those lives of leisure
is there anything else?
oh yeah
looks like we broke the weather

we've been to the moon
it's just a dusty rock
we tried to love love and peace
but now it seems
we only loved the drugs
we never began
to get our act together
is there anything else?
oh yeah
looks like we broke the weather
