Letra I. G. Y. de Steely Dan original

Standing tough under stars and stripes
We can tell
This dreams in sight
Youve got to admit it
At this point in time that its clear
The future looks bright
On that train all graphite and glitter
Undersea by rail
Ninety minutes from new york to paris
Well by seventy-six well be a.o.k.

What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free

Get your ticket to that wheel in space
While theres time
The fix is in
Youll be a witness to that game of chance in the sky
You know weve got to win
Here at home well play in the city
Powered by the sun
Perfect weather for a streamlined world
Therell be spandex jackets one for everyone

What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free

On that train all graphite and glitter
Undersea by rail
Ninety 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
Well be clean when their work is done
Well be eternally free yes and eternally young

What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
