Your aspirations flew like flies You took the planet by surprise You truly believed But of course you'd been deceived It's an age of alienation Of a downbeat generation So much for liberation It looks like rain to me In a drug infected haze You attacked the bourgeois ways And felt so relieved But consider what you leave (Chorus) I loved but knew not who Belonged but not to you I'm a man of modern hue Like an Indian summer sky I can kiss this dream goodbye So long to the blue There's a shadow over you (Chorus) It's an age of your creation Of a disunited nation So much for your invasion It looks like rain to me
