It's the eighties...
It's the eighties, so where's our rocket packs'
It's the eighties, where's our rocket packs'
Go anywhere, we strap them on our backs.

It's the eighties where's our rocket packs'
The eighties where's our rocket packs'
It's the eighties where's our rocket packs'

I thought by now I'd walk the moon, (it's the eighties where's our rocket packs')
And ride a car without no tires, (it's the eighties where's our rocket packs')
And have a robot run the vacuum, (it's the eighties where's our rocket packs')
And date a girl made out of wires, (it's the eighties where's our rocket packs')
No, things don't change that much, do they' (do they')
We are still out of touch,
By now we should discover just how to love each other,
Like Klattu's robot man, your looks have killed again.
(It's the eighties where's our rocket packs')
I thought by now we'd live in space, (it's the eighties where's our rocket packs')
And eat a pill instead of dinner, (it's the eighties where's our rocket packs')
And wear a gas mask on our face, (it's the eighties where's our rocket packs')
A president of female gender, (it's the eighties where's our rocket packs')
Though progress marches on, new day, (new day)
Our troubles still grow strong,
And my expectancies become my fantasies,
You turned my blood to sand,
The Earth stands still again.

My hopes are running low, (my hopes are running low)
Things moving much too slow, (things moving much too slow)
There's no space men up above, (no space men up above)
We're still far from love, (and we're still far from love)
So very far from love. (so very far from love)

(It's the eighties where's our rocket packs')
I thought by now we'd build a dome, (it's the eighties where's our rocket packs')
Around the world, control the weather, (it's the eighties where's our rocket packs')
In every house, a picture phone, (it's the eighties where's our rocket packs')
Communicate a little better, (it's the eighties where's our rocket packs')
But some things never change, replay (replay)
You are still acting strange,
No way that I can see,
This way we will be free.

8, 7,6,5,4,3,2, Lift-off.
