paroles de chanson Happy Happy Happy - Soft Cell

1999 A.D.
More than a generation away
And yet, dreams travel faster than light
And even now, scientists and planners
Are shaping the lives of our children
Who will live in the 21st century

I remember a past
Who told us all the future
Rocketships and flying cars
Other people lived on Mars
Boys and girls all look the same
In PVC like leather
Auto controls to clean the house
And even change the weather

Pills replaced the sex act
We all felt so much better
All the bikes and monorails
Electricity that never fails
Sterilized and neutralized
Living in our bubble
Robocops with laser beams
To dispel any trouble

Happy, happy, happy
Never ever crying
We never had a problem
With state assisted dying
Bland on bland and hand in hand
The killing or demeaning
A better life with little strife
And very little meaning

I loved your shiny uniform
Moulded round your unibreast
Alan Jones for mobile homes
And unisex for dress
We took a trip round Venus
And ate by intravenous
Saturn had the answer
Of every space romancer

Where did all our hopes go?
All our naive dreams go?
Were they just science fiction stories?
We'll never really know
We tried to teach the world to sing
We only war and famine bring
So kill them with your laser beam
And turn them into Soylent green

Happy, happy, happy
Never ever crying
We never had a problem
With state assisted dying
Bland on bland and hand in hand
No killing or demeaning
A better life with little strife
And very little meaning

Science fiction stories
Told us of our future
Science fiction stories
Told us of our future
Science fiction stories
Told us of our future
Science fiction stories
Told us of our future

And even now, scientists and planners
Are shaping the lives of our children
Who will live in the 21st century
