Testo Fast Forward - Joe Jackson
Testo della canzone Fast Forward (Joe Jackson), tratta dall'album Fast Forward
I'm heading fast forward
Seems like we've gotten kinda stuck
Time to get out of town and try to
Set the controls for some time
Off in the future
When people will be happy instead of
Getting dumber and getting scareder all the time
Scared of their own shadows and scared to take a fall
Either miserable with millions or dying for a dime
Desperate to live forever or lucky to live at all
And if I could see myself from
Some other planet would I be shaking my head sadly or
Would I be laughing saying
"It's always been the same"
But anyway
I'm going back to the age of gold or the age of sin
Fast forward 'til I understand the age I'm in
And it's always the old guys bitching
About the young guys growing beards
Or turning into sissies or something
When they're trying to hold back time
As if that isn't weird
Meanwhile the young guys are
Waiting for respect when what they want to be is cool
Cool, calm and collected
Just as if that isn't strange
Or they want to blow the whistle
Ring the bell and change the rules
When the game goes on forever
It's just the uniforms that change
If this is the best of times or
If it's the worst
There's some difference of opinion out there
Everyone is a genius
But no one has any friends
Or is it the other way around?
I'm going back to the age of gold or the age of sin
Fast forward 'til I understand the age I'm in
Sometimes I look at the moon
And I think I know just how she feels
Going 'round and 'round us again
As we go 'round the sun
Watching us as fools
And geniuses rush in
And you and me age disgracefully
And have way too much fun
And everyone knows about what's
Over and done and tied up with pretty ribbons on it
One king after another
With a mad one
And a queen or two
Thrown in for good measure and meanwhile
We can make the future
Make it every bit as clear
Make a friendly Star Trek universe
'Cause everything's allowed
The only place that's seriously strange to be is here
And the only time that's maddeningly mysterious is now
So I'm hitting fast forward
Come on!
Come on, get on board
You don't want to be late now
I'm going back to the age of gold or the age of sin
Fast forward 'til I understand the age I'm in
