lyrics

There was a time when the water flowed
Before the plasticine, before the black top road
A psychopath, the Hoover Damn
You can stop the world but you can't stop the man

There was a time when the Beagle sailed
Charlie Darwin talking peacock tails
A sale pitch on a cliff, ya gonna fall for that?
She had a fishnet blouse, you had a heart attack

Foundation off, put that makeup down
Get ya all dolled down, we're gonna hit the town
American malls, fake Irish bars
I guess I like things more the way they really are

The way you are
The way it was
The way it's supposed to be
What I'm supposed to see
