We Are 1980 Lyrics - Little Mountain - Said The Whale

Lean back into the wind 

Its an empty cold outside 

I sent you back just the smoothest rock I could find 

Accompanied by just a couple of words came to mind 

Its an old concept 

Sending letters again 

Well thought out, rehearsed and written in pen 

Paperless here is a thing of the past 

Im cutting down trees and using up gas 

Weve got Mandarax and loveless sex 

And information passing right through our skin and bones 

Spot on with my content for the lesser known 

In spite of all of the rules of my own 

That I break up in stride 

Ignoring my front, back 

Ignoring my left and my right 

Its my moral compass 

And its easy to find 

Well thought out, intentionally left behind 

Its regrettable, yes 

But how could I ever sleep at night? 

Knowing I had rules and knowing I had to abide 

Weve got Mandarax and loveless sex 

And information passing right through our skin and bones 

Its the information age 

Of lesser consequence to the silence 

The information age 

Of fountain pens and real stationary 

The information age 

Of lesser consequence to the silence 

The information age 

We are 1980 

We are 1980 

We are 1980 

We are 1980 

We are 1980 

We are 1980 

We are 1980 

We are 1980
