I was born a child of the modern world
Yes, I can use the Internet
But I don't see the point of mobile phones
The Kinks, the space race, and the constant threat of
Nuclear annihilation were enough to get me through the day
I saw this coming twenty years ago
So risk averse you legislate your lives into rehearsal
Sift through random pickings from our toxic landfill, island history
Things might seem better, but they're worse
For all the saints who took their chance
And wrote their own rule book, their own romance
In upstairs rooms, on boats and trains
De profundis, threats and stains were made
Lord, I'm gonna shake it
Lord, I'm gonna take it
Lord
For all the saints who from their labours rest
Beneath the landslide of souls obsessed with right and wrong
Who dare to stand against the tide
Is it worth this? You decide
Just take the ride
Will your dreams be half as bright tonight?
Will your dreams be half as bright tonight?
Will your dreams show you where to go?
Will your dreams be a horror show?
Will your dreams be half as bright tonight?
