《(A Child’s View Of) the Eisenhower Years》歌词

[00:00:00] You’re on your way back home in a brand new station wagon

[00:00:00] (A Child's View Of) The Eisenhower Yearsn - Al Stewart

[00:00:05] A pile of rolling chrome ten miles to the gallon

[00:00:11] Your mother puts her makeup on you watch her crunch the gears

[00:00:19] It’s a child’s view of the Eisenhower years

[00:00:24] Your father knows what’s best no one to upstage him

[00:00:30] He thinks he’s so well dressed finds new things to outrage him

[00:00:36] Elvis on the television G I s in Korea

[00:00:44] It’s a child’s view of the Eisenhower years

[00:00:48] I don’t mind the innocence so much

[00:00:54] In fact it’s charming

[00:00:56] The comedians have got a certain touch

[00:00:59] That’s quite disarming

[00:01:02] Even though the aliens from space

[00:01:06] Haunt the weekend matinees

[00:01:09] Super heroes keep the citizenry safe

[00:01:13] There’s a beep in the sky in 1957

[00:01:18] A metal ball that flies through Soviet heaven

[00:01:24] Papers shout the headlines politicians fan the fears

[00:01:32] It’s a child’s view of the Eisenhower years

[00:01:36] I don’t mind the innocence so much

[00:02:06] In fact it’s charming

[00:02:08] And the girls in their hoop skirts

[00:02:11] Have got a style that quite disarming

[00:02:14] Even thought the neighborhood is new

[00:02:19] Everybody looks like you

[00:02:21] At the soda fountain and the schoolyard too

[00:02:26] See the baseball fly out across the diamond

[00:02:31] Jimmy Jones and I we’ve both got good timing

[00:02:37] To be born into a greased back world

[00:02:42] All hips and teenage sneers

[00:02:44] It’s a child’s view of the Eisenhower years
