Born on a lonely planet, full of broken dreams Where no one understands me When I finally met an angel, I didn't know what to say She just held my hand We would lay awake at night, looking at the stars Thinking of the ones we've lost and wonder where they are When we lit another candle, she asked me who's to blame Then she put her arms around me and held me to the flame So why do we hurt each other? We don't need the words for one another's Prayers, they don't mean a thing at all Do they answer when you call? These prayers, when you don't mean what you say Would you die for me today? Now I just can't relate None of this makes sense in this reality God just leaves the room when I turn on my TV I see a little girl who's crying 'cause she lost her family All these strangers sending thoughts and prayers, she's buried underneath Why do we kill each other? We can't feel the pain in one another's Prayers, they don't mean a thing at all Do they answer when you call? These prayers, when you don't mean what you say Would you die for me today? Now I just can't relate We're so far away from one another We keep building walls between each other's Prayers, they don't mean a thing at all Do they answer when you call? These prayers, when you don't mean what you say Would you die for me today? Now I just can't relate Prayers, they don't mean a thing at all Do they answer when you call? These prayers, when you don't mean what you say Would you die for me today?

Life was simple, Roger was working 'round the clock to make a living, No computers, none of that, he used his two hands, Ignored the cold war His wife would keep him warm, On the weekends, He'd load the car up with the kids and they'd go fishing, No need to work an extra job, there's no recession, Damn right he smiled a lot They'd lay awake at night So in love It was a good good year The kids were alright, "Highway to Hell" beat out "Stayin' Alive", The Clash was on the radio And mum and dad were still in love, In 1979. It was a good, good year. In the morning, Robin always woke up early in the kitchen, She'd make the coffee, pack his lunch and then she'd kiss him And he would hold her tight When they were newlyweds He'd say maybe And she would laugh, they knew they'd have another baby She'd slave away all day until dinner was ready, And they would dance so slow to "Just the Way You Are". It was a good, good year The kids were alright, "Highway to Hell" beat out "Stayin' Alive", The Clash was on the radio And mum and dad were still in love. In 1979. It was a good, good year. All the decades and the years have passed, Not every family is built to last, No time can take away these memories Remember when you said to me That we'd be alright. Oh oh ohhh The kids were alright, "Highway to Hell" beat out "Stayin' Alive", The Clash was on the radio And mum and dad were still in love, In 1979 It was a good, good year. Oh oh ohhh Disco couldn't survive With the Dream Police and Rock N Roll High Blondie brought out "Heart Of Glass" And mom and dad bought their first house. In 1979 It was a good, good year. It was a good, good year.
