I.G.Y.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Standing tough under stars and stripes We can tell This dream's in sight You've got to admit it At this point in time that it's clear The future looks bright [Pre-Chorus] On that train all graphite and glitter Undersea by rail Ninety minutes from New York to Paris Well by '76 we'll be A-OK [Chorus] What a beautiful world this will be What a glorious time to be free What a beautiful world this will be What a glorious time to be free [Verse 2] Get your ticket to that wheel in space While there's time The fix is in You'll be a witness to that game of chance in the sky You know we've got to win [Pre-Chorus] Here at home we'll play in the city Powered by the sun Perfect weather for a streamlined world There'll be spandex jackets one for everyone [Chorus] What a beautiful world this will be What a glorious time to be free What a beautiful world this will be What a glorious time to be free [Instrumental Interlude] [Bridge] On that train all graphite and glitter Undersea by rail Ninety minutes from New York to Paris (more leisure for artists everywhere) A just machine to make big decisions Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision We'll be clean when their work is done We'll be eternally free yes and eternally young [Chorus] What a beautiful world this will be What a glorious time to be free What a beautiful world this will be What a glorious time to be free What a beautiful world this will be What a glorious time to be free What a beautiful world this will be What a glorious time to be free
