Jackson Jackson - The Flicker And The Spark

Hello, how you doing?
We're the young educated boys and girls of the first world,
Hold the future round our necks like a diamond necklace that is quite expensive.
Remember when the bombs still fell?
Well the old people do even if they won't tell.
And the bombs could fall again as well on the young educated boys and girls of the first world.

Make your, make your mark now.
Make a living out of living and be home before dark.
My savior is a figure and a sparkle one day the young educated boys and girls of the first world will have to master.
Imagine a war of the reds and the greens of a garden where have you been?
I've been to England to visit the Queen but the places where the city has been,
There was no, nothing there just a pile of old beans.
And the situation was so extreme (?).
And all of the countries sank in the sea
And the whole world was a forgotten old dream.

And the statues of the prophets were looking at me,
Singing
You were the young educated boys and girls of the first world and you didn't try to change a thing.
