It was a plastic age with plastic tears A total addiction to the wonder years I'm a believer was where it's at He's singing oh Lola lady lay lady lay She's fixing a hole down on Blue Jay Way American Pie on your Tupperware He paints an Andy-Pandy Campbell's tins Boys in the jungle on your TV screen In tricky dicky's love machine We'll take an easy ride and have some fun On Dylan's highway 61 In California dreaming sun
That was when I loved you I loved you, I loved you, I loved you
They were the living years of stainless steel Praying for a time in a fortune wheel Smooth operator was where it's at So welcome all of you to the pleasure dome Of taking the look from the homeless zone With digital aids in your telephone
Another day in paradise is nice From Ronnie's recession's nice advice
We suffer from the longest and one of the most sustained inflations in our national history. So don't you let the sun go down on me Coz I wanna break free from your MTV To virtual reality
That was when I loved you I loved you, I loved you, I loved you I loved you, I loved you
That was when I loved you I loved you, I loved you, I loved you I loved you, I loved you, ... (repeated several times)
[Choir on the background:] From the shadow of the past I never dreamed that it would last You gave me joy you gave me tears And took away the wonder years
