Back in 1955 Wasn't hard to survive You know that no one lived But no one died and no one Thought we'd every cry
(CHORUS) Sunshine roses, sweet holy moses Ethan Allen, come and sing me a song Any day now, Lord, any way now Somebody come and take us away Someone come and take us away
It was 1963, I said hello You know I'm free and I've come to claim our liberty For you and you and you and me
Come on, sing it now (CHORUS)
It was there upon the hill Five hundred thousand standing still With our hopes and dreams that never Will become the truth someday until
We start singing now (CHORUS)
The joker's laughing on the floor No one knows why or knows what for But I think it's time we close the door Before it's 1984
