Lies (Through the 80s)
We're all gonna live out the Hollywood dream
Everything's gonna be just what it seems
Gonna find a better way to run our cars
(All through the Eighties)
'Cause the race is on, we're gonna land on Mars
(All through the Eighties)
The Video Screen will open up the door
(All through the Eighties)
Information - there'll be more and more
(All through the Eighties)
Will the man on the street finally know the score
But I saw a kid with no smile on his face today
Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say
I've lost my hope there isn't anywhere to play
(Pull up the trees and put up a parking lot)
The play's been written we'll all be in the cast
(All through the Eighties)
And our feet are gonna point away from the past
(All through the Eighties)
Will supersonic travel be our ticket to ride
We'll have cruise missiles, they think as they fly
But I saw a kid with no smile on his face today
Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say
I've lost my hope there isn't anywhere to play
(Pull up the trees and put up a parking lot)
Time will go and the years fly by
(All through the Eighties)
And we'll have another slice of American Pie
(All through the Eighties)
Credit card living, push button cash
(All through the Eighties)
We'll pay our money and we'll take our trash
(All through the Eighties)
And another generation will "Talk about their Generation"
But I saw a kid with no smile on his face today
Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say
I've lost my hope there isn't anywhere to play
(Pull up the trees and put up a parking lot)
I saw a kid with no smile on his face today
Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say
I saw a kid with no smile on his face today
Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say
Everything's gonna be just what it seems
Gonna find a better way to run our cars
(All through the Eighties)
'Cause the race is on, we're gonna land on Mars
(All through the Eighties)

I saw a kid with no smile on his face today
Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say
