Long Long Way Lyrics by Ian Thomas (CA)

Long Long Way

0

Well, we've come a long, long way
Look at everything we know
We're getting smarter every day
Ah, but where's it gonna go
For all the words that go by
I've got a feeling inside
That after it's all said and done
Though we've come a long, long way
This old world's not much better than it was
Oh, it's just like the twenties
Machine guns were plenty
Every day you'd get shot up
All the whisky'd get bought up
We'd be dancing the night through
Just waiting until the joke's on you
Ah then, what do you do
Oh, Model Ts and Chevies
Just loaded with heavies
Shining faces like morning roses
Aglow with their noses
Pressed on your window
Just waiting to shine your concrete shoes
To the piano roll blues
We're flying spaceships 'round the stars
Getting faster by the hour
Pretty soon we'll be on Mars
Build another ivory tower
Through all the praise that you borrow
There's still hunger and sorrow
And after it's all said and done
Though we've come a long, long way
This old world's not much better than it was
Oh, it's just like the twenties
Machine guns were plenty
Every day you'd get shot up
All the whisky'd get bought up
We'd be dancing the night through
Just waiting until the joke's on you
Ah then, what do you do
Oh, Model Ts and Chevies
Just loaded with heavies
Shining faces like morning roses
Aglow with their noses
Pressed on your window
Just waiting to shine your concrete shoes
To the piano roll blues
