Nuclear age by Some Stranger Lyrics
Woke up in 1923
We were brawling, we were free
A restless world awaking
With newfound industry
We knew our enemies
And won the first World War
We built things with our hands
It seemed worth fighting for
(It seemed worth fighting for)
Just a kid of the nuclear age
I was born too early or too late
Just a kid of the nuclear age
Tethered to another time and place
Woke up in 2222
And everything was new
A world devoid of sickness
Technology came through
We look ahеad to the stars now
And leave old rivalriеs
No there’s no need for war no more
Or ancient deities
Just a kid of the nuclear age
I was born too early or too late
Just a kid of the nuclear age
Tethered to another time and place
Listless in my given fate
Just drifting through the nuclear age
Woke up in present day
It feels like a copy of a copy that won’t change
The footprints, they never stay
So we’re just living today like we did yesterday
Now all our hopes and all our goals
They don’t amount to much
And everything we loved is lying covered in the rust
I made a case for staying
But I can’t convince myself
So back to bed and damn it all to hell
Damn it all to hell
(Just a kid)
(Just a kid)
Damn it all to hell
(Just a kid of the nuclear age)
(Damn it all to hell)
Just a kid of the nuclear age
I was born too early or too late (Damn it all to hell)
Just a kid of the nuclear age
Tethered to another time and place
Just a kid of the nuclear age
I was born too early or too late
Tethered to another time and place
Listless in my given fate
Just drifting through the nuclear age
We were brawling, we were free
A restless world awaking
With newfound industry
We knew our enemies
And won the first World War
We built things with our hands
It seemed worth fighting for
(It seemed worth fighting for)
Just a kid of the nuclear age
I was born too early or too late
Just a kid of the nuclear age
Tethered to another time and place
Woke up in 2222
And everything was new
A world devoid of sickness
Technology came through
We look ahеad to the stars now
And leave old rivalriеs
No there’s no need for war no more
Or ancient deities
Just a kid of the nuclear age
I was born too early or too late
Just a kid of the nuclear age
Tethered to another time and place
Listless in my given fate
Just drifting through the nuclear age
Woke up in present day
It feels like a copy of a copy that won’t change
The footprints, they never stay
So we’re just living today like we did yesterday
Now all our hopes and all our goals
They don’t amount to much
And everything we loved is lying covered in the rust
I made a case for staying
But I can’t convince myself
So back to bed and damn it all to hell
Damn it all to hell
(Just a kid)
(Just a kid)
Damn it all to hell
(Just a kid of the nuclear age)
(Damn it all to hell)
Just a kid of the nuclear age
I was born too early or too late (Damn it all to hell)
Just a kid of the nuclear age
Tethered to another time and place
Just a kid of the nuclear age
I was born too early or too late
Tethered to another time and place
Listless in my given fate
Just drifting through the nuclear age
