Paul Kantner - Dark Ages lyrics

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
