I.G.Y. — текст песни (Donald Fagen)

Standing tough under stars and stripes
We can tell
This dream`s in sight
You`ve got to admit it
At this point in time that 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 seventy-six we`ll be A.O.K.

What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free

Get 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 everyone

What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free

On 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 young

What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
