I.G.Y.

Standing tough under stars and stripes
We can tell
The dream's in sight,
You've got to admit it
At this point in time it's clear:
The future looks bright.
On that train all graphite and glitter
Undersea by rail
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
Well, by '76 we'll be A.O.K.What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be freeGet your ticket to that wheel in space
While there's time
The fix is in
You'll be a witness to that game of chance in the sky
You know we've got to win.
Here at home we'll play in the city
Powered by the sun
Perfect weather for a streamlined world
There'll be spandex jackets, one for everyoneWhat a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be freeOn that train all graphite and glitter
Undersea by rail
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
(more leisure for artists everywhere)
A just machine to make big decisions
Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision
We'll be clean when their work is done
We'll be eternally free, yes, and eternally youngWhat a glorious world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
