Jefferson Starship

What time is it, boys and girls?
Its 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
Dont look back
The past is gaining on us
Read my lips
Watch my hips
These are the Dark Ages
George Orwells 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 its in the hands of the enemy
Nobody believes me
And so I know that Im right
Charisma addiction gives me a deja v?
Is this like Germany in the 1930s?
Do we have to
Live through the apocalypse again?
Chorus:
Might be the dark ages
But were so happy
Happy to be here today
You never know when you
Might have to face the censor
So I dont pretend to
Want to make too much sense
Revolution on TV
In far-off distant countries
Too bad its just another mini-series here
Nobody believes me
And so I know that Im 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?
Chorus:
These are the Dark Ages
But were so happy
Happy to be here today
Might be the Dark Ages
But were so happy
Happy to be here with you
