"Livin' On A Marble" lyrics - JIM CAPALDI

1984 might be a good year
But it won't be so good for you and me
They've already got us surrounded
There's nothin' but disharmony

You don't realize they got you categorized
So subtle it can't be detected
They got a chain around your brain, and you might as well be lame.
It's too late you're already infected, ha.

Universal love can be a good thing
If everybody stays on their own soil
It's when everybody tries to get together
That's when the blood begins to boil.

Birds of a feather will always flock together,
No matter what the situation.
But when they tried to build the Tower of Babel
It turned out to be God's damnation
It turned out to be God's damnation
It turned out to be God's damnation! Hey!

Though a man has walked in space,
Sent a rocket up to the moon.
We're still no nearer to the stars
In fact we're running out of room.

Destruction is a black mushroom (mushroom)
Growing out of politician's hands. (oh yeah, yeah)
This government speaks about freedom (freedom)
But they bring nothing but destruction to the land. (ow!)
Absolute power corrupts absolutely (yeah)
We need decentralization. (what's that s'posed to mean?)
Cut down the power and you'll cut down the size. (that's right!)
That's our only salvation, woah!

Though a man has walked in space,
Sent a rocket up to the moon.
We're still no nearer to the stars
In fact we're running out of room.

We're living on a marble, we're living on a marble.

There go your feet
There go your knees
There go your hips
There go your waist
There go your elbows, your shoulders
There goes your heartbeat!
