We're all gonna live out the Hollywood dream
|
Everything's gonna be just what it seems
|
Gonna find a better way to run our cars
|
All through the Eighties
|
'Cause the race is on, we're gonna land on Mars
|
All through the Eighties
|
The Video Screen will open up the door
|
All through the Eighties
|
Information - there'll be more and more
|
All through the Eighties
|
Will the man on the street finally know the score
|
|
But I saw a kid with no smile on his face today
|
Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say
|
I've lost my hope there isn't anywhere to play
|
(Pull up the trees and put up a parking lot)
|
|
The play's been written we'll all be in the cast
|
All through the Eighties
|
And our feet are gonna point away from the past
|
All through the Eighties
|
Will supersonic travel be our ticket to ride
|
We'll have cruise missiles, they think as they fly
|
|
But I saw a kid with no smile on his face today
|
Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say
|
I've lost my hope there isn't anywhere to play
|
(Pull up the trees and put up a parking lot)
|
|
Time will go and the years fly by
|
All through the Eighties
|
And we'll have another slice of American Pie
|
All through the Eighties
|
Credit card living, push button cash
|
All through the Eighties
|
We'll pay our money and we'll take our trash
|
All through the Eighties
|
And another generation will "Talk about their Generation"
|
|
But I saw a kid with no smile on his face today
|
Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say
|
I've lost my hope there isn't anywhere to play
|
(Pull up the trees and put up a parking lot)
|
I saw a kid with no smile on his face today
|
Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say
|
I saw a kid with no smile on his face today
|
Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say
|
