Lyrics

Year One (Demo)

Year one, little babies

Year one on their TVs

No A.D., B.C., A.D

Patriotic people sleep

Like Washington D.C

Waiting, waiting, waiting

They don't feel a thing (no!)

No dolls, no debutantes (no!)

No desperate living class (no!)

No Roman Catholic mass (no!)

No magazines, no TV (no!)

No RCA, no GE

Year one in our history

Year one in society

They're waiting for the Son

For any son to come

Year one, you're one, I'm one

Year one, you're one, I'm one

Year one, you're one, I'm one

Year one, you're one, I'm one

Year one, you're one, I... I am one
