Soft Cell - Happy Happy Happy lyrics
[Soft Cell - Happy Happy Happy lyrics]
1999, A.D
More than a generation away
And yet dreams travel faster than light
And even now
Scientists and planners are shaping
The lives of our
Children who will live in
The twenty-first century
I remember a past
That told us of a future
Rocket ships and flying cars
Other people lived on Mars
Boys and girls all looked the same
In PVC like leather
Auto controls to clean the house
And even change the weather
Pills replaced the sex act
We all felt so much better
Hover cars and monorails
Electricity that never fails
Sterilised and neutralised
Living in our bubble
Robot cops with laser guns
To dispel any trouble
Happy happy happy
Never ever crying
We never had a problem
With state assisted dying
Hand in hand and bland in bland
No killing or demeaning
A better life with little strife
And very little meaning
I love your shiny uniform
Moulded round your uni-breast
Alan Jones for mobile homes
And unisex for dress
Take a trip round Venus
Eat by intravenous
Saturn was the answer
For every space romancer
Where did all our hopes go?
All our naive dreams go?
Were they just science fiction stories?
We'll never really know
They tried to teach the world to sing
We only war and famine bring
So kill them with our laser beams
Turn them into Soylent green
Happy happy happy
Never ever crying
We never had a problem
With state assisted dying
Bland in bland and hand in hand
No killing or demeaning
A better life with little strife
And very little meaning
Science-fiction stories
Told us of our future
Science-fiction stories
Told us of our future
Science-fiction stories
Told us of our future
Science-fiction stories
Told us of our future
And even now
Scientists and planners are shaping
The lives of our
Children who will live in
The twenty-first century
More than a generation away
And yet dreams travel faster than light
And even now
Scientists and planners are shaping
The lives of our
Children who will live in
The twenty-first century
I remember a past
That told us of a future
Rocket ships and flying cars
Other people lived on Mars
Boys and girls all looked the same
