Yeasayer - 2080 lyrics

I can't sleep when I think about
The times we're living in
I can't sleep when I think about
The future I was born into
Outsiders dressed up like Sunday morning
With no Berlin wall what the
Hell you gonna do

It's a new year, I'm glad to be here
It's a fresh spring, so let's sing
In 2080 I'll surely be dead
So don't look ahead, ever look ahead
It's a new year, I'm glad to be here
It's a fresh spring, so let's sing
And the moon shines bright
On the water tonight
So we won't drown in the summer sound

If you find me I'll be
Sitting by the water fountain
Picket signs, letdowns
Meltdown on Monday morning
The folks, they ain't alright
But, it's alright, yeah it's alright
Yeah it's alright
'Cause in no time, they'll be gone
I guess I'll still be standing here

It's a new year, I'm glad to be here
It's a fresh spring, so let's sing
In 2080 I'll surely be dead
So don't look ahead, ever look ahead
It's a new year, I'm glad to be here
It's a fresh spring, so let's sing
And the moon shines bright
On the water tonight
So we won't drown in the summer sound

Yeah, yeah, we can all grab at the
Chance to be handsome farmers
Yeah you can have twenty-one sons and be
Blood when they marry my daughters
And the pain that we left at the station
Will stay in a jar behind us
We can pickle the pain into blue
Ribbon winners at county contests

It's a new year, I'm glad to be here
It's a fresh spring, so let's sing
In 2080 I'll surely be dead
So don't look ahead, ever look ahead
It's a new year, I'm glad to be here
It's a fresh spring, so let's sing
And the moon shines bright
On the water tonight
So we won't drown in the summer sound

Yeah, yeah, we can all grab at the
Chance to be handsome farmers
Yeah you can have twenty-one sons and be
Blood when they marry my daughters
And the pain that we left at the station
Will stay in a jar behind us
We can pickle the pain into blue
Ribbon winners at county contests
