Dark Ages — текст песни (Paul Kantner)

What time is it, boys and girls?
It`s time for the Dark Ages!

Your nightmares and traumas
can make you rich and famous
Commericals can teach you
all that you need to know
Kiss my flag
Don`t look back
The past is gaining on us
Read my lips
Watch my hips
These are the Dark Ages

George Orwell`s dream came true
But no one realizes
It crushed us so nicely
with so much wit and style
Entertainment might as well be
just like a rocket launcher
Too bad it`s in the hands of the enemy

Nobody believes me
And so I know that I`m right
Charisma addiction gives me a deja vu
Is this like Germany in the 1930s?
Do we have to
live through the apocalypse again?

Might be the dark ages
But we`re so happy
Happy to be today

You never know when you
might have to fave the censor
So I don`t pretend to
want to make too much sense
Revolution on TV
in far-off distant countries
Too bad
it`s just another mini-series here
Nobody believes me
And so I know that I`m right
Charisma hangover
has got to wear off soon
Could this be like Eastern Europe
in the 1990s?
Will we ever get a chance
to have perestroika here?

These are the Dark Ages
But we`re so happy
Happy to be here today

Might be the Dark Ages
But we`re so happy
Happy to be here with you
