Billy Joel - No Man's Land
I've seen those big machines
come rolling through the quiet pines
Blue suits and bankers with their
Volvos and their valentines
Give us this day our daily
discount outlet merchandise
Raise up a multiplex
and we will make a sacrifice
Now we're gonna get the big business
Now we're gonna get the real thing
Everybody's all excited about it
* Who remembers when it all began
out here in no man's land
Before they passed the master plan
out here in no man's land
Low supply and high demand
here in no man's land
There ain't much work out here
in our consumer power base
No major industry
just miles and miles of parking space
This morning's paper says
our neighbor's in a cocaine bust
Lots more to read about
Lolita and suburban lust
Now we're gonna get the whole story
Now we're gonna be in prime time
Everybody's all excited about it
I see these children with their
boredom and their vacant stares
God help us all if we're
to blame for their unanswered prayers
They roll the sidewalks up
at night this place goes underground
Thanks to the Condo Kings
there's cable now in Zombietown
Now we're gonna get the closed circuit
Now we're gonna get the Top 40
Now we're gonna get the sports franchise
Now we're gonna get the major attractions
Who remembers when it all began
out here in no man's land
Before the whole world was in our hands
out here in no man's land
Before the banners and the marching bands
out here in no man's land
Low supply and high demand
here in no man's land
