The age of enlightenment Lyrics

There we are sitting nicely up straight

Well I'm sorry to tell you that it's all a bit too late

You have laid your hand and everyone has seen

It's such a shame that you couldn't play it clean

There you are like the cat has got the cream

All sitting pretty like a king and a queen

Nothing to do bar twiddling your thumbs

Once covered in glory, now covered in crumbs

What have learned so far well not that much

Other than those who art in power being faraway out of touch

A blinding realisation unlikely to cause excitement

We should look upon this as an age of enlightenment

Well here we are do you feel proud

Look at you now, just one of the crowd

You don't give a damn about anyone but you

And I wish from my troubled heart this wasn't true

What have we learned so far well I kid you not

A runaway train that's puffing hard but doesn't know how to stop

So how do you manage to cope with such excitement

Emerging as we are from this age of enlightenment

There's a will and it's strong it's been there all along

You can see in their ways we have moved on from those yesterdays

What have learned so far well not that much

Other than those who art in power being hopelessly out of touch

A blinding realisation unlikely to cause excitement

We should just look upon this as an age of enlightenment

What have we learned so far well I kid you not

A runaway train that's puffing hard but doesn't know how to stop

So how do you manage to cope with this excitement

Emerging as we are from this age of enlightenment

What have learned so far well not that much

Other than those who art in power being hopelessly out of touch

A blinding realisation unlikely to cause excitement

We should just look upon this as an age of enlightenment

What have we learned so far well I kid you not

A runaway train that's puffing hard but doesn't know how to stop

So how do you manage to cope with this excitement

Emerging as we are from this age of enlightenment

Going up and down, running round and round, blowing hot and cold

Going up and down, running round and round, not doing as you're told

Going up and down, running round and round, blowing hot and cold

Going up and down, running round and round, not doing as you're told
