I know a time called then
When we were only men
And to be alive
Just meant you hadn't died
Time can't erase
Heartbeats
Out of phase
And your empty eyes
Don't seem to want to realise
Oh! 2025
When we were still alive
Oh! 2025
When we were only simple men
And in the automat! And that was that
We didn't mess with time
Knock things out of line
Oh! 2025
When we were still alive
Oh! 2025
When we were only simple men
And in the dreamless night
I pulse
Out of sight
Am I the only man
No part of any plan
Before the age of clean
Before the power screen
Before the maser beam
Before my world was only me
Oh we were young and free
You can't alter me
So now you keep me here
Is this law
Or is it fear
Oh! 2025
When we were still alive
Oh! 2025
When we were only simple men
When we were only men
And to be alive
Just meant you hadn't died
Time can't erase
Heartbeats
Out of phase
And your empty eyes
Don't seem to want to realise
Oh! 2025
When we were still alive
Oh! 2025
When we were only simple men
And in the automat! And that was that
We didn't mess with time
Knock things out of line
Oh! 2025
When we were still alive
Oh! 2025
When we were only simple men
And in the dreamless night
I pulse
Out of sight
Am I the only man
No part of any plan
Before the age of clean
Before the power screen
Before the maser beam
Before my world was only me
Oh we were young and free
You can't alter me
So now you keep me here
Is this law
Or is it fear
Oh! 2025
When we were still alive
Oh! 2025
When we were only simple men
