Billy Joel - No Man's Land Lyrics
I've seen those big machines come rolling through the quiet pines Blue suits and bankers with their Volvos and their valentines Give us this day our daily discount outlet merchandise Raise up a multiplex and we will make a sacrifice Now we're gonna get the big business Now we're gonna get the real thing Everybody's all excited about it Who remembers when it all began Out here in no man's land Before they passed the master plan Out here in no man's land Low supply and high demand Here in no man's land There ain't much work out here in our consumer power base No major industry, just miles and miles of parking space This morning's paper says our neighbor's in a cocaine bust Lots more to read about Lolita and suburban lust Now we're gonna get the whole story Now we're gonna be in prime time Everybody's all excited about it Who remembers when it all began Out here in no man's land We've just begun to understand Out here in no man's land Low supply and high demand Here in no man's land I see these children with their boredom and their vacant stares God help us all if we're to blame for their unanswered prayers They roll the sidewalks up at night, this place goes underground Thanks to the condo kings there's cable now in Zombietown Now we're gonna get the closed circuit Now we're gonna get the Top 40 Now we're gonna get the sports franchise Now we're gonna get the major attractions Who remembers when it all began Out here in no man's land Before the whole world was in our hands Out here in no man's land Before the banners and the marching bands Out here in no man's land Low supply and high demand Here in no man's land ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
