In The Future - Lyrics - Knee Plays - David Byrne

Title: In The Future
Album: Knee Plays
Artist: David Byrne
Composer(s): David Byrne

Lyric:
In the future everyone will have the same haircut and the same clothes
In the future everyone will be very fat from the starchy diet
In the future everyone will be very thin from not having enough to eat
In the future it will be next to impossible
To tell girls from boys, even in bed

In the future men will be super-masculine
And women will be ultra-feminine
In the future half of us will be mentally ill
In the future there will be no religion or spiritualism of any sort
In the future the psychic arts will be put to practical use

In the future we will not think that nature is beautiful
In the future the weather will always be the same
In the future no one will fight with anyone else
In the future there will be an atomic war

In the future water will be expensive
In the future all material items will be free
In the future everyone's house will be like a little fortress
In the future everyone?s house will be a total entertainment center

In the future everyone but the wealthy will be very happy
In the future everyone but the wealthy will be very filthy
In the future everyone but the wealthy will be very healthy
In the future TV will be so good
That the printed word will function as an art form only

In the future people with boring jobs
Will take pills to relieve the boredom
In the future no one will live in cities
In the future there will be mini wars going on everywhere
In the future everyone will think about love all the time

In the future political and other decisions
Will be based completely on opinion polls
In the future there will be machines
Which will produce a religious experience in the user

In the future there will be groups of wild people
Living in the wilderness
In the future there will only be paper money
Which will be personalized
In the future there will be a classless society

In the future everyone will only get to go home once a year
In the future everyone will stay home all the time
In the future we will not have time for leisure activities
In the future we will only work one day a week

In the future our bodies will be shriveled up but our brains will be bigger
In the future there will be starving people everywhere
In the future people will live in space
In the future no one will be able to afford TV

In the future the helpless will be killed
In the future everyone will have their own style of way-out clothes
In the future we will make love to anything, anytime, anywhere
In the future there will be so much going on
That no one will be able to keep track of it

Social Studies - Lyrics - Knee Plays - David Byrne

Title: Social Studies
Album: Knee Plays
Artist: David Byrne
Composer(s): David Byrne

Lyric:
I thought that if I ate the food of the area I was visiting
That I might assimilate the point of view of the people there
As if the point of view was somehow in the food
So, I would make no choices myself regarding what food I ate

I would simply follow the examples of those around me
I would study menus very carefully
Making note of important differences and similarities
When shopping at the supermarket

I felt a great desire to walk off with someone else's groceries
So I could study them at length and study their effects on me
As though if I ate their groceries
I would become that person until I finished their groceries

And we might find ourselves going to the same places
Running into one another at the movies or in a shopping mall
Reading the same books, watching the same TV programs
Wearing the same clothes, traveling to the same places
And taking the same pictures, getting sick at the same time

And getting well again simultaneously
Finding ourselves attracted to the same people
Working at the same job and making the same amount of money
Living identical lives as long as the groceries lasted

The Sound Of Business - Lyrics - Knee Plays - David Byrne

Title: The Sound Of Business
Album: Knee Plays
Artist: David Byrne
Composer(s): David Byrne

Lyric:
They were driving south on the highway
Their business was in another town
Bigger than the town they were driving from
Business took place during office hours in both towns

This drive was considered business
The feeling of passing other cars
Was also considered business
A feeling of business being done

The feeling of drifting slowly
Through a field of moving vehicles
This was the real speed, the speed of business
Not the numbers on the speedometer

One of them was playing with the radio
Slowly changing the channel from one station to another
Sometimes listening to both channels at once
On one channel a man was talking to another man on the telephone
The other channel was playing oldies

'Gone For Good', 'Listening Wind'
'Puzzle Power', 'Beechwood Serenade'
'Sunshine And Sugar', 'Golden Windows'
'Taste Of Believing', 'Carnival Girl'
'Love Walks Away', 'Wishing Well'

'Knew You Could', 'A Face Like That'
'Dark Highway', 'Shakin? Venus'
'Colored Wheels', 'Visit Me Quick'
'Lonesome Money', 'School Of Heartache'
'Painted Smiles'

The sound of business being done

We Built This City - Lyrics - Jefferson Starship

Title: We Built This City
Artist: Jefferson Starship
Composer(s): Dennis Lambert, Peter Wolf, Martin Page, Bernie Taupin

Lyric:
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll

Say you don't know me
Or recognize my face
Say you don't care who goes
To that kind of place

Knee deep in the hoopla
Sinking in your fight
Too many runaways
Eating up the night

Marconi plays the mamba
Listen to the radio
Don't you remember
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll

We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll

Someone always playing
Corporation games
Who cares they're always changing
Corporation names

We just want to dance here
Someone stole the stage
They call us irresponsible
Write us off the page

Marconi plays the mamba
Listen to the radio
Don't you remember
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll

We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll

It's just another Sunday
In a tired old street
Police have got the choke hold
Oh, and we just lost the beat

Who counts the money
Underneath the bar
Who rides the wrecking ball
Into our guitars

Don't tell us you need us
'Cause we're just simple fools
Looking for America
Calling through your schools

I'm looking out over that golden gate bridge
Out on a gorgeous sunny Saturday
I've seen that bumper-to-bumper traffic
Don't you remember, remember

Here's your favorite radio station
In your favorite radio city
The city by the bay, the city that rocks
The city that never sleeps

Marconi plays the mamba
Listen to the radio
Don't you remember
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll

We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll

Who counts the money, underneath the bar
Who rides the wrecking ball in two rock guitars
Don't tell us you need us, 'cos we're the ship of fools
Looking for America coming through your schools

Don't you remember

Betweens - Head Full Of Steam - Lyrics - Go

Title: Betweens - Head Full Of Steam
Artist: Go
Composer(s): Robert Forster, Grant Mclennan

Lyric:
I'd never met her type, she ignored me and that's alright
Never to be friends or my body lie on her floor
Her father works, her mother works in exports
But that's of no importance at all

I don't mind, I don't mind
Just to chase her, a fools dream
I'm 104 degrees
With a head full of steam

All waitings up, I'm on that team
That says go forward
With a head full of steam

She plays hard to get along with
But she might drop by
She never had a nickname
But then nor have I

I don't mind, I don't mind
Just too chase her, a fools dream
I'm 104 degrees
With a head full of steam

All waiting's up, I'm on that team
That says go forward
With a head full of steam

Steam, steam
Oh, I just want to know

I'd never met her type
She locked the door and the key
Opened the windows for the neighbors to see
Her climb on my knee

To chase her, a fools dream
I'm 104 degrees
With a head full of steam

All waitings up, I'm on that team
That says go forward
With a head full of steam

Go forward
Go forward now
Go forward
Go forward now
