Dark Ages Lyrics - Singles - Paul Kantner

What time is it, boys and girls? 

It's time for the Dark Ages! 

Your nightmares and traumas 

can make you rich and famous 

Commericals can teach you 

all that you need to know 

Kiss my flag 

Don't look back 

The past is gaining on us 

Read my lips 

Watch my hips 

These are the Dark Ages 

George Orwell's dream came true 

But no one realizes 

It crushed us so nicely 

with so much wit and style 

Entertainment might as well be 

just like a rocket launcher 

Too bad it's in the hands of the enemy 

Nobody believes me 

And so I know that I'm right 

Charisma addiction gives me a deja vu 

Is this like Germany in the 1930s? 

Do we have to 

live through the apocalypse again? 

Might be the dark ages 

But we're so happy 

Happy to be today 

You never know when you 

might have to fave the censor 

So I don't pretend to 

want to make too much sense 

Revolution on TV 

in far-off distant countries 

Too bad 

it's just another mini-series here 

Nobody believes me 

And so I know that I'm right 

Charisma hangover 

has got to wear off soon 

Could this be like Eastern Europe 

in the 1990s? 

Will we ever get a chance 

to have perestroika here? 

These are the Dark Ages 

But we're so happy 

Happy to be here today 

Might be the Dark Ages 

But we're so happy 

Happy to be here with you
