Manfred Mann's Earth Band — Lies Through the 80s

[Verse 1] 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 80s 'Cause the race is on, we're gonna land on Mars All through the 80s The video screen will open up the door All through the 80s Information, there'll be more and more All through the 80s Will the man on the street finally know the score? [Chorus] 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) [Verse 2] The play's been written we'll all be in the cast All through the 80s And our feet are gonna point away from the past All through the 80s Will supersonic travel be our ticket to ride? We'll have cruise missiles, they think as they fly [Chorus] 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) [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 3] Time will go and the years fly by All through the 80s And we'll have another slice of American pie All through the 80s Credit card living, push button cash All through the 80s We'll pay our money and we'll take our trash All through the 80s And another generation will talk about their generation [Chorus] 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) [Outro] 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
