lyrics

spake the housewife to her children, prepare for the future.
dilly dally senseless chatter. where's that gonna get you silly.
you're a model, or an actress.
you're a bright young kid.
or an astronaut or a policeman.
you could be all of these things.
all the things you can do.
the world was our oyster.
but we were loved and cardboard horses flew us to the moon.
spake the housewife to her children, prepare for the future.
dilly dally senseless chatter. never gonna get you anywhere.
you're a model, or an actress.
you're a bright young kid.
you're a neurosurgeon or a thinker.
a slice of pie in the sky, as the homes burn.
watch the news on tv.
better homes, a safer way when employment is rising.
and a hooligan killed a policeman, left three dead in d.c.
deaths as the shuttle took off.
failed and crashed
and sputtered
and wept.
and war is hate, and incest is rape.
we're living on a landmine.
but we'd been loved
when cardboard horses flew us to the moon.
