It’s the eightiesIt’s the eighties so where’s our rocket packs?It’s the eighties so where’s our rocket packs?Go anywhere, we strap them on our backs(It’s the eighties so where’s our rocket packs?)I thought by now I’d walk the moonAnd ride a car without no tiresAnd have a robot run the vacuumAnd date a girl made out of wiresNo thing’s don’t change that much, do they?We are still out of touchBy now we should discover just how to love each otherLike Klaatus’ robot man your looks have killed again(It’s the eighties so where’s our rocket packs?)I thought by now we’d live in spaceAnd eat a pill instead of dinnerAnd wear a gas mask on our faceA President of female genderThough progress marches on, (new day)Our troubles will grow strongAnd my expectancies, become my fantasiesYou turn my blood to sand, the earth stands still againMy hopes are running lowThings moving much too slowThere’s no space men up aboveAnd we’re still so very far from loveSo very far from love(It’s the eighties so where’s our rocket packs?)I thought by now we’d build a domeAround the world, control the weatherIn every house, a picture phoneCommunicate a little betterBut some things never change (replay!)You are still acting strangeNo way that I can see, this way we will be free8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, Lift off!
