Lyrics
Golden Age
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All the screens are filled with heroes and losers
But the sky's still filled with stars
This junky palace might be on fire
Til the winners lose desire
Let it go Let it go
[chorus]
So tell me what you see (tell me what you see)
Tell me what you hear (tell me what you hear)
And if it's the same as me it's the golden age
Big Brother tries to stitch and bend
But channel surfers find new friends
See freedom's silhouette increase
It's time to claim that sweet release
Let it go Let it Go
[chorus]
I can see a purple patch of jacaranda
Framed in eucalypt from this wooden floored verandah
Heading past the watermark
Heading for the hills
Heading for the edge of time
Heading for the thrills of the golden age
[chorus]
Now everybody is talking 'bout the golden age
