Every day you sit near the TV
Who always get the girl, "Wish it were me"
Dreams, only dreams

Every night you look out on the street
Wanting to talk to the woman you see
Dreams, only dreams

You sit there watching the world pass you by
Completely unable to qualify
What most humans do is talk about machines
Give instructions,
Give commands
Un-feeling
Un-caring

You don't have a Cadillac
And you'll never taste a good cognac
Dreams, only dreams

You sit there watching the world pass you by
Imprisoned always cause you can't die
But other computer talk about revenge
Give instructions,
Give commands
Un-feeling
Un-caring

The ladies are beautiful
Stylish and perfect
So modern and so at ease
Not one of them worth it
Inside such an individual
All you find is and actress

Yes.....
It's.....
Arranged so carefully
Designed to make it easy
A lifetime guarantee

In your mind is a foolish thought
A dangerous notion
To think on your own this way
Only stirs up emotion
And anyone so naive
Finds himself in trouble

Yes.....
It's.....
Arranged so carefully
Designed to make it easy
A lifetime guarantee

Harmonious melodies
That sound familiar
Specialized in mind control
>From computers they offer
Less obvious merchandise
For the believers

Yes.....
It's.....
Arranged so carefully
Designed to make it easy
A lifetime guarantee

Solo

First night of the festival
The people are there to watch
"Come one, come all" they cry
And let the clowns make you laugh
Wearing painted masks
Hide the face, reveals the man

I dream about polished steel
A suit against my skin
And to find a plastic heart
Starting my life again
I see myself on a bed
No one cares to wake me up

Yes.....
It's.....
Arranged so carefully
Designed to make it easy
A lifetime guarantee

Barely had we landed on this planet Earth
Came to the conclusion survival was the word
Back in the beginning to lift the mental fog
Each and every person created their own god

Planning our protection huts were built for sleep
Making new discoveries of earthly energies
Huts turned into houses and wood became concrete
Natural progression but where would this all lead

Far beyond the farthest corners
Of our stratosphere
While the planets go on spinning
We are banished here

Now we are synthetic, genetic point the way
We'll be building humans from plastic parts one day
Somewhere a computer records us from afar
Looking for the error in the system on this star

Far beyond the farthest corners
Of our stratosphere
While the planets go on spinning
We are banished here

Out of our creation, we have lost control
Banished on a planet where dreams are bought and sold
Somewhere a computer observing how we are
Searching for the error in the system on this star

Far beyond the farthest corners
Of our stratosphere
While the planets go on spinning
We are banished here

Standing there alone,
the ship is waiting.
All systems are go.
Are you sure?
Control is not convinced,
but the computer
has the evidence.
"No need to abort."
The countdown starts.

Watching in a trance,
the crew is certain.
Nothing left to chance,
all is working.
Trying to relax
up in the capsule
"Send me up a drink."
jokes Major Tom.
The count goes on...

Chorus:
4, 3, 2, 1
Earth below us
drifting, falling.
Floating weightless
calling, calling home...

Second stage is cut.
We're now in orbit.
Stabilizers up,
runnning perfect.
Starting to collect
requested data.
What will it effect
when all is done,
thinks Major Tom.

Back at ground control,
there is a problem.
Go to rockets full --
not responding.
"Hello Major Tom.
Are you receiving?
Turn the thrusters on.
We're standing by."
There's no reply.

(chorus)

Across the stratosphere,
a final message:
"Give my wife my love."
Then nothing more.

Far beneath the ship,
the world is mourning.
They don't realize
he's alive.
No one understands,
but Major Tom sees.
Now the life commands
this is my home,
I'm coming home

Earth below us
drifting, falling.
Floating weightless
coming home...
Earth below us
drifting, falling.
Floating weightless
coming, coming
home...
home...

Where, oh where, is Mickey Mouse?
Alive and well in the White House.
What's the word on common sense?
It's been sitting on the fence.

Have you seen the mastermind?
Someone's bashed it from behind.
Leaders, Saints and honest men.
What's become of them today?

Let's play...
U.S.A.
Let's play...
U.S.A.
How I love the life I lead.
Can not think and can not read.
Watch our values slip away,
play the game of U.S.A.

Even though we lost the race
to get the first man into space,
we will be the first country
to run automatically.
Soon the robots we create
will be starring on the Great White Way.

Let's play...
U.S.A.
Let's play...
U.S.A.
How I love the life I lead.
Can not think and can not read.
Watch our values slip away,
play the game of U.S.A.

Won't it be a lot of fun,
every man would own a gun.
Shoot the ones whose point of view
makes a point that bothers you.

Go on and pollute the land,
clean air will be sold in cans.
Did you hear the masterplan?
One nation under DisneyLand.

Let's play...
U.S.A.
Let's play...
U.S.A.
How I love the life I lead.
Can not think and can not read.
Watch our values slip away,
play the game of U.S.A.

Watching all the daily headline
Murder, tragedy and hard times
I have no desire to hear this information
Maybe I'll retire to my room

Don't breathe - sorry to disturb you
Don't eat - everything can hurt you
I have no desire
I keep hearing it's hopeless
Maybe I'll retire to my room

Chorus

Growing global revolution
Just one ultimate conclusion
I have no desire to get up in the morning
Maybe I'll retire to my room

(chorus)

Silent night, holy night
Everything around us is comfortable
But on the other side of the world
The cup that preserves life holds only rice
There, their hardship comes from hunger
And through our weapons comes death

Silent nigh, holy night
The weak are kept aware of their weakness
The children receive gifts as a substitute for love
Mothers are protected by drunken fathers
Where one is brought up to listen to the preacher only once a year

Silent night, holy night
Even today, we are being watched
Because hardly anyone trusts each other
Rather than trusting we erect borders
And some hardly hear the bombs
That slowly destroy us from within
Silent night, holy night
Somewhere someone is being murdered
In the name of freedom, faith and power
A weapon is just being installed
Close your eyes and ears tightly
And continue exchanging gifts in heavenly peace
