It’s The Eighties, So Where’s Our Rocket Packs?
[Chorus]
It's the eighties
It's the eighties so where's our rocket packs
It's the eighties so where's our rocket packs?
Go anywhere, we strap them on our backs
[Verse 1]
I thought by now I'd walk the moon
And ride a car without no tires
And have a robot run the vacuum
And date a girl made out of wires
[Pre-Chorus 1]
No, things don't change that much, do they?
We are still out of touch
By now we should discover
Just how to love each other
Like Klaatu's robot man
Your looks have killed again
[Verse 2]
I thought by now we'd live in space
And eat a pill instead of dinner
And wear a gas mask on our face
A president of female gender
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Though progress marches on
(New day)
Our troubles will grow strong
And my expectancies
Become my fantasies
You turn my blood to sand
The earth stands still again
[Bridge]
My hopes are running low
Things moving much too slow
No space men up above
And we're still so very far from love
So very far from love
[Verse 3]
I thought by now we'd build a dome
Around the world, control the weather
In every house, a picture phone
Communicate a little better
[Pre-Chorus 3]
But some things never change
(Replay)
You are still acting strange
No way that I can see
This way we will be free
7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, liftoff
It's the eighties
It's the eighties so where's our rocket packs
It's the eighties so where's our rocket packs?
Go anywhere, we strap them on our backs
[Verse 1]
I thought by now I'd walk the moon
And ride a car without no tires
And have a robot run the vacuum
And date a girl made out of wires
[Pre-Chorus 1]
No, things don't change that much, do they?
We are still out of touch
By now we should discover
Just how to love each other
Like Klaatu's robot man
Your looks have killed again
[Verse 2]
I thought by now we'd live in space
And eat a pill instead of dinner
And wear a gas mask on our face
A president of female gender
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Though progress marches on
(New day)
Our troubles will grow strong
And my expectancies
Become my fantasies
You turn my blood to sand
The earth stands still again
[Bridge]
My hopes are running low
Things moving much too slow
No space men up above
And we're still so very far from love
So very far from love
[Verse 3]
I thought by now we'd build a dome
Around the world, control the weather
In every house, a picture phone
Communicate a little better
[Pre-Chorus 3]
But some things never change
(Replay)
You are still acting strange
No way that I can see
This way we will be free
7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, liftoff
