[00:00:00] Brave New World - Michael Penn

[00:00:06] Written by：Michael Penn

[00:00:10] Baby's busy hiding in the bassinet

[00:00:12] Wonderin' if the third world war started yet

[00:00:14] I told her I was pulling up and heading west

[00:00:16] She said she would have come but she was overdressed

[00:00:19] So I sent a picture postcard of a midwest bank

[00:00:21] She wrote me that she showed it to her new friend frank

[00:00:24] Who noticed in a window on the 19th floor

[00:00:26] A guy my age about to prove that man can't soar

[00:00:29] And he would also like to know

[00:00:33] If I could just check around before I left this town

[00:00:36] For slow mo footage of the tumble down so

[00:00:39] This may not be my best day

[00:00:44] But this ain't no golden age

[00:00:49] You looked pretty on the freeway

[00:00:54] Let's drive into the brave new world

[00:01:04] A van pulls up and someone offers me a ride

[00:01:06] The driver lost the map and he was terrified

[00:01:09] Everybody whispering to save his pride say

[00:01:11] Son would you be kind enough to be our guide

[00:01:14] The driver yells the one in back already tried

[00:01:15] But his memory is rusty and his vision tied

[00:01:18] Glasses and a lubricant were by his side but

[00:01:21] The tin man was inanimate the lion lied

[00:01:23] They did not want to see me go

[00:01:28] But I did not want to be another muskateer

[00:01:30] Plus the gas runs out before the van's in gear

[00:01:34] Please don't hit me if I do say

[00:01:38] But this ain't no golden age

[00:01:43] You looked so pretty on the freeway

[00:01:48] Let's drive into the brave new world

[00:02:11] Buster and his company look good in black

[00:02:13] They're looking for a way out of the cul de sac

[00:02:16] Tearing through the phone book and the almanac

[00:02:17] They all have dusty noses 'cause they sniff shellac

[00:02:21] They finally found the number of a matador

[00:02:23] Who rode up in a beemer with a pricey whore

[00:02:25] But buster wasn't quick enough

[00:02:27] He'd lock the door

[00:02:28] And rode off sayin' he'd be back before the war

[00:02:30] By then the night was falling slow

[00:02:35] And I did not want to stick around and just look old

[00:02:37] When I saw you pulling onto my soft shoulder

[00:02:41] This may not be my best day

[00:02:46] But this ain't no golden age

[00:02:51] You looked pretty on the freeway

[00:02:55] Let's drive into the brave new world

[00:03:01] Please don't hit me if I do say

[00:03:05] But this ain't no golden age

[00:03:10] You looked so pretty on the freeway

[00:03:15] Let's drive into the brave new world

[00:03:22] Yeh
