Lyrics Jefferson Airplane

Jefferson Airplane

Ice Age

Well, I heard the news just the other day

Now I feel there's something I must say

Well, the darkness comes too often

This time, next year, I'll build my coffin

Made out of lead so X-Rays cannot see

We gotta be free

Political men they burn their lives out talkin'

We people of the Earth just keep on walkin'

Well, we don't know what to say

Only live our lives as slaves

All we can do is race on to the grave

Well, we gotta get away

Well, they're much too old

To care about the future

They're sewing up the past

With shining sutures

It's immortality they crave

Their days are done so now they're brave

Their lives will live in books for fools and slaves

We gotta get away
