The eighth song from Get Set Go's album Sunshine, Joy and Happiness
Lyrics:
La la la
Hooray for the rockets we landed upon Mars
Hooray for the telescopes that take pictures of the stars and
Everything's advancing, we're gettin' pretty smart
And the prices have never been lower at your local Wal-Mart!
And we sing:
La la la la la
La la la la la
Oh, this is the modern age
We've never been so right
Oh, this is the modern age
What keeps you up at night?
La la la
Never mind the starving, and never mind the sick
Buy yourself a hummer and that'll do the trick
And the sting of your conscience is only a prick
That can be done away with with a point and a click
And we sing:
La la la la la
La la la la la
Oh, this is the modern age
We've never been so right
Oh, this is the modern age
What keeps you up at night?
The poor must pay more to secure basic medicine
The broke they must choke on the yoke that has been thrust on them
But don't trust in them
La la la
We can clone ourselves a monkey
But the starving, they must die
We can map the human genome,
But we can't save their lives
And what would we become if we saved everyone?
All our dollars wasted on some degenerate bums!
And we sing:
La la la la la
La la la la la
Oh, this is the modern age
We've never been so right
Oh, this is the modern age
What keeps you up at night?
Oh, this is the modern age
We've never been so right
Oh, this is the modern age
What keeps you up at night?
