Standing tough under stars and stripes
|
We can tell
|
This dream's in sight
|
You've got to admit it
|
At this point in time that it's clear
|
The future looks bright
|
On that train all graphite and glitter
|
Undersea by rail
|
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
|
Well by seventy-six we'll be A.O.K.
|
|
Chorus
|
What a beautiful world this will be
|
What a glorious time to be free
|
|
Get your ticket to that wheel in space
|
While there's time
|
The fix is in
|
You'll be a witness to that game of chance in the sky
|
You know we've got to win
|
Here at home we'll play in the city
|
Powered by the sun
|
Perfect weather for a streamlined world
|
There'll be spandex jackets for everyone
|
|
On that train all graphite a glitter
|
Undersea by rail
|
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
|
(More leisure for artists everywhere)
|
A just machine to make big decisions
|
Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision
|
We'll be clean when their work is done
|
We'll be eternally free yes and eternally young
|
