about

Not what we were told it would be...

lyrics

So what happened to my jet pack?
No anti-grav belt – what a setback
Bases on the Moon – no we ain’t got them
Global peace – wasn’t that the plan?
The future’s not what it was cracked up to be
It’s a B-grade sci-fi tragedy

CHORUS
Still they’re stating
At least they’re claiming
Or so they’re saying
More they’re praying
It’s gonna be alright
It’s gonna be alright

Temperature’s rising – there’s no place to go
Soon we’ll be hiding under geodesic domes
We won’t need shades, we’ll need a big lead hat
To keep the radiation off our backs
The future’s not so bright – we’re losing time
Things went wrong somewhere down the line

CHORUS

We won the Cold War; so we’ve been told
Yet all our freedoms have now been sold
No Soviet informants or KGB
Instead we’ve got surveillance and CCTV
It makes you wonder what democracy means
Now Soviet citizens are starting to look free

CHORUS

Yeah it’s gonna be all-
Yeah it’s gonna be all-
Yeah it’s gonna be all-
Be alright be alright
Be alright be alright
