Lyrics I.G.Y. Donald Fagen

Standing tough under stars and stripes, we can tell This dream's in sight, you've got to admit it At this point in time that it's clear The future looks bright On that train, all graphite and glitter Undersea by rail 90 minutes from New York to Paris Well, by '76 we'll be a-okay What a beautiful world this will be What a glorious time to be free What a beautiful world this will be (Ooh, ah) What a glorious time to be free Get your ticket to that wheel in space while there's time The fix is in You'll be a witness to that game of chance in the sky You know we've got to win Here at home we'll play in the city Powered by the sun Perfect weather for a streamlined world There'll be spandex jackets, one for everyone What a beautiful world this will be What a glorious time to be free What a beautiful world this will be What a glorious time to be free Whoo-hoo On that train, all graphite and glitter Undersea by rail 90 minutes from New York to Paris (More leisure for artists everywhere) A just machine to make big decisions Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision We'll be clean when their work is done We'll be eternally free, yes, and eternally young, ooh What a beautiful world this will be What a glorious time to be free What a beautiful world this will be What a glorious time to be free What a beautiful world this will be (Yeah) What a glorious time to be free What a beautiful world this will be What a glorious time to be free
