Ian Thomas - Long Long Way Lyrics
Well we've come a long long way,Look at everything we knowWe're getting smarter everyday,Ah but where's it gonna goFor all the words that go by,I've got a feeling insideThat after it's all said and doneThough we've come a long long wayThis old world's not much better than it wasOh it's just like the twenties, machine guns were plentyEveryday you'd get shot up all the whisky'd get bought upWe'd be dancing the night through, just waiting untilThe joke's on you, ah then what do you doModel T's and Chevies just loaded with heaviesShining faces like morning roses, aglow with their nosesPressed on your window, just waiting to shineYour concrete shoes, to the piano roll bluesWe're flying space ships round the starsGetting faster by the hourPretty soon we'll be on MarsBuild another Ivory towerThru all the praise that you borrowThere's still hunger and sorrow and after it's all said and doneThough we've come a long long wayThis old world's not much better than it wasOh it's just like the twenties, machine guns were plentyEveryday you'd get shot up all the whisky'd get bought upWe'd be dancing the night through, just waiting untilThe joke's on you, ah then what do you doOhModel T's and Chevies just loaded with heaviesShining faces like morning roses, aglow with their nosesPressed on your window, just waiting to shineYour concrete shoes, to the piano roll blues
