Guy Forsyth - Текст песни Long Long Time

It's been a long, long, long, long,
long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, time.
It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long, long,
long, long, long, long, long, time.

When I was a kid, I used to draw airplanes,
with stars and bars shooting down airplanes,
adorned with hammers and sickles.
I bought a hundred water guns so I could save the world,
saving my lunch money and stealing my father's quarters,
dimes, and nickels.
I discovered religion watching Luke Skywalker
rescue Princess Leia and destroying the Death Star
by letting go and closing his eyes.
And I devoured comic books,
three colored mythologies taught me right and wrong,
and if you believe, you can fly.

It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long, long,
long, long, long, long, long time.
It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long, long,
long, long, long, long, long time.

I remember listening to songs about trains
and feeling the rush of wonder at the possibility
that the world was infinite and accessible all at the same time.
And then it was songs about highways and born to be wild
and little red corvette and the road went on forever in my mind.
But now it's clogged bumper to bumper with stinking SUVs
and two-story pickup trucks that can drive over anything
except the two-story pickup truck right in front of it.
Not even the highways look the same,
Starbucks and 711s and Walmarts jam the feeder roads.
We don't live around this mess, we live under it.

It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, Guy Forsyth - Long Long Time - http://ru.motolyrics.com/guy-forsyth/long-long-time-lyrics.html
long, long, long, long time.
It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long,
long, long, long, long time.
Since I felt fine.

Now all the songs are about gangsters and guns
and the TV speeds by at 100 deaths an hour
and everyone wants to pull off the crime of the century.
Steal two hundred gazillion dollars,
enough to buy myself an island and build a real honest-to-God train
on it for no one but me.
And get away with it. Get away with it.
We Americans are freedom-loving people
and nothing says freedom like getting away with it.
We went from Billy the Kid to Richard Nixon, Enron, Exxon, O.J. Simpson
We used to dream about heroes, but now it's just how to beat the system.
So where to we go to dream now? Up on the roof of the projects,
straining through the city lights to see if they've
built golden arches on the moon yet?
Self-medicated, half sedated, trying our best to stay distracted,
living life according to the TV set.
Corporations owning nations, telling us 'don't change the station,
it's the only safe way to win the human race.
I wonder how the world sees us.
Rich beyond compare, powerful without equal,
a spoiled, drunk, 15-year-old waving a gun in their face.

It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long, long,
long, long, long, long, long time.
It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long, long,
long, long, long, long, long time.
It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long, long,
long, long, long, long, long time.
It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long, long,
long, long, long, long, long time.
Since I felt fine.
