Strontium 90 - New World Blues lyrics

All those stories that used to say

There's a new world begins today

Bad old days just a memory

Trouble is that it seems to me - yeah, yeah, yeah

It's the same old planet

Golden dreams of a golden age

Silver tongue of an ancient sage

When the prose is half fulfilled

Seems it's time for you to pay all the bills - no, no no

Not on the planet

I had a vision the other night

Woken up by an angel of light

She sang a song so pure and bright

A simple tale of how it might have been

My political friend tells me I've got to fight

He says I've got to stand up for my rights

Well that's all right my friend you know I will

Just one thing you know - I ain't gonna kill - no, no no

Not on the planet

Go take me flying out of this place

To another time and some other space

I'm just another soldier fallen from grace

Won't you see me with a smile on my face?

No,no,no!

Not on the planet

(Not on the planet)

It's a new world

(Not on the planet)

It's the same old planet

(Not on the planet)

It's a new world

(Not on the planet)

But it's the same old planet

(Not on the planet)

It's a new world

(Not on the planet)

It's the same old planet

(Not on the planet)

It's a new world

(Not on the planet)

It's the same old planet

(Not on the planet)
