The Buggles
Living in the Plastic Age
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Every day, my metal friend
Shakes my bed at 6AM (Hello!)
Then the shiny serving clones
Run in with my telephones
[Verse 2]
Talking fast, I make a deal
Buy the fake and sell what's real
What's this pain here in my chest?
Maybe I should take a rest
[Chorus]
They send the heart police
To put you under cardiac arrest
And as they drag you through the door
They tell you that you've failed the test
(Living in the)
[Verse 3]
Living in the plastic age
Looking only half my age
Hello, doctor, lift my face
I wish my skin could stand the pace
[Verse 4]
In the bed, I read my mind
Remember how the mice were blind
I watch them fighting in their cage
Could this be the plastic age?
[Chorus]
They send the heart police
To put you under cardiac arrest
And as they drag you through the door
They tell you that you've failed the test
(Living in the)
[Post-Chorus]
Plastic age
Plastic age
Plastic age
[Chorus]
They send the heart police
To put you under cardiac arrest
And as they drag you through the door
They tell you that you've failed the test
(Living in the)
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Post-Chorus]
Plastic age
Plastic age
Plastic age
[Instrumental Outro]
