Once upon a time we'd lie Beneath the clear blue sky When summer was such fun Just lazing in the sun Now we run and hide away From ultraviolet rays It's really rather sad Where is the fun we had? Once the future never came It all just stayed the same Nobody flew to Mars And cars still looked like cars Now computers steer our lives Make phone calls as we drive The future is all here As people disappear Once we had a lot of room Before the tourist boom This country was our home The sea the earth and stone Now we rent it from the rich They own it every stitch Japan, the States and more We're just their virgin whore Once we breathed the sparkling air Swam waters cool and clear Felled trees without a care So many more to spare Now we may live out our years We may dismiss our fears Content to leave this hell In which out children dwell
