lirik lagu the mutants - new dark ages
new dark ages by the mutants
business people with long hair
hiding plastic things everywhere
recording shows while they’re not there
once they’ve got it, they don’t care
so many nice things to see
mom and dad are my tv
i go to them and they teach me
they show me what i want to be
we’re living in the new dark ages
wearing clothes of the latest rages
reading about it on magazine pages
these are the new dark ages
come and see the next new face
come and see the next human race
you’re looking at me like i’m a clone
my body is yours, my mind’s my own
you’re all afraid to look ahead
you’d rather live in the past instead
you took your mind and put it to bed
wake up before you’re all dead
we’re living in the new dark ages
wearing clothes of the latest rages
reading about it on the magazine pages
these are the new dark ages
i wrote these lyrics in 1977
i was in stinson beach, working (with mr. carothers) at the home of a cbs vice president
the lyrics came to me and i went out to sit in my truck and put pen to paper
the first verse is based on a then recent visit to a well to do, suburban, friend’s house
business people with long hair
my friend had long hair at the time and is a businessman. i thought to myself “times have changed, not that long ago, a businessman wouldn’t be caught dead with long hair”
hiding plastic things everywhere
i noticed a lot of things in their house looked like they were metal, stone or wood, but they were really only made of plastic
recording shows while they’re not there
vcrs were just getting popular. my friends already had a collection of video tapes of tv shows they recorded on timer
once they’ve got it, they don’t care
my friend mentioned once they record them they hardly ever watch them
