your aspirations glew like flies 
you took the planet by surprise 
you truly believed 
but of course you'd been deceived 

it's an age of alienation 
of a downbeat generation 
so much for liberation 
it looks like rain to me 

in a drug infected haze 
you attacked the bourgeois ways 
and felt so relieved 
but consider what you leave 

chorus 

i loved but knew not who 
belonged but not to you 
i'm a man of modern hue 

like an indian summer sky 
i can kiss this dream goodbye 
so long to the blue 
there's a shadow over you 

chorus 

it's an age of your creation 
of a disunited nation 
so much for your invasion 
it looks like rain to me
