Well we've come a long long way
Look at everything we know
We're getting smarter every day,
Ah but where's it gonna go
For all the words that go by,
I've got a feeling inside
/
That after it's all said and done
Though we've come a long long way
This old world's not much better than it was
/
Oh it's just like the twenties, machine guns were plenty
/
Everyday you'd get shot up all the whisky'd get bought up
We'd be dancing the night through, just waiting until
The joke's on you, ah then what do you do
/
Model T's and Chevies just loaded with heavies
/
Shining faces like morning roses, aglow with their noses
Pressed on your window, just waiting to shine
Your concrete shoes, to the piano roll blues
oo oo oo oo ooo ooo ooo ooo oo ooo oo ooo oo oo oo oo oo oo ..

We're flying space ships round the stars
Getting faster by the hour
Pretty soon we'll be on Mars
Build another Ivory tower
Thru all the praise that you borrow
/
There's still hunger and sorrow and after it's all said and done
Though we've come a long long way
This old world's not much better than it was
/
Oh it's just like the twenties, machine guns were plenty
/
Everyday you'd get shot up all the whisky'd get bought up
We'd be dancing the night through, just waiting until
The joke's on you, ah then what do you do
/
Model T's and Chevies just loaded with heavies
/
Shining faces like morning roses, aglow with their noses
Pressed on your window, just waiting to shine
Your concrete shoes, to the piano roll blues
oo oo oo oo ooo ooo ooo ooo oo ooo oo ooo oo oo oo oo oo oo
