OT: "La La Land"

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

Here's the lyrics to a song written by a little-known band named All Star United. I find them to be humorous, as well as a profound description of many peoples attitudes as the millenium draws to a close. "La La Land" The question isn't whether it's true The question--"Is it working for you?" Marshmellow skies, and custardy pies And nothing's too hard to do

They're five happy verses or so They told me all I needed to know Ignore all the rest, trials and tests And threats to my comfort zone

Chorus: Well I've got no time to find out what's real I stick with what I happen to feel It feels grand when you're livin' in lala land

You can name a blessing yourself Stake a claim on power and wealth And strong healthy teeth, a spot at the beach And romance that's really swell

All the saints and martyrs alike Well they would have called a national strike Demanded less pain, more personal gain If only they'd known their rights

Chorus: Well I take it very personally Yeah, I got to know what's in it for me Ain't it grand? When you're livin' in lala land
