let me fly - jefferson starship lyrics

[intro]
oh

[verse 1]
did you see the tv? did you see the news line?
lady chaos workin’ overtime
surrounded by computers and unfriendly users
livin’ for today in the city of the future (oh)

[chorus]
let me fly
let me fly
oh, let me fly into the heart
of the virgin sky

[verse 2]
architecture crumbling in downtown manhattan
oh, la freeway lookin’ like doomsday
coast to coast i hear the prowlin’ of the wind
the comic grim reaper, he’s at it again
he got oj and jackson and
tv preachers and stock market leaders
my god, he even got oj simpson

[pre*chorus]
iran, he ran, who ran the government
geeks and freaks and scandals and confusion
all our institutions are falling apart
and it’s a good year for civil disobedience
in rome, it’s lookin’ very much like
rome, crisis situation
rome, this is not what jefferson meant!
rome, red alert, red alert!
[chorus]
let me fly
let me fly
oh, let me fly into the heart
of the virgin sky

[guitar solo]

[verse 3]
songs of freedom, songs of elevation
all the people are hungry for action
and when life starts movin’ faster and faster
and you sense the need to look deep into the future

[bridge]
let us dream of the future
let us dream and make it real now
dream of the future (oh, oh, oh)
dream of the future (oh, oh)
dreams of the future (oh, oh, oh)

[chorus]
i wanna be an outlaw (let me fly)
just like jesse james (let me fly)
blade runner outlaw (let me fly)
robin hood in disguise (let me fly)
psych0m*therf*cker in the pool
rob the rich and feed the poor (let me fly)
outlaw (let me fly)
she encourages bank robbery as a survival tool (let me fly)
and as a means of political and artistic expression (let me fly)
oh, she’ll be an outlaw (let me fly)
just like george washington and daniel ortega (outlaw)
dillinger and oscar de la vega
belle starr and mother jones (outlaw)
and galileo and black bart
and bart simpson and st. paul (outlaw)
and jesus broke the laws (outlaw)
so did socrates and martin luther (outlaw)
and martin luther king and vasco de gama
and sir francis drake (outlaw)
sh*t man, even j. edgar hoover broke the law
[outro]
so go out and stuff the universe into your eyes
your face, your brains, your heart
like columbus and amerigo vespucci
and lewis and clark and ramsey clark and ellsberg
and nixon and reagan and bush
get on the bandwagon
get with it
hide in the mouth of the dragon
the heart of the empire
in full disguise
of total desire
