Manfred Mann’s Earth Band - Lies lyrics
[Manfred Mann’s Earth Band - Lies lyrics]
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
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
