Rose Goes To Yale Lyrics

    Unused lyrics from lyric sheet:
    ...and there in the dawn of the nuclear twilight
    In the heart of the glowing city
    She stood
    Pen in hand

    Lalalalalalala
    Lalalalalala
    Lalalalalalala
    Lalalalalala
    Go and find rose and ask her 'bout order
    Go and find rose and ask her 'bout yale
    There is no more yale (yaaaaaa!)
    There is no more order (yaaaaaay!)

    I was out on the river
    And in the darkness before me
    In the light of the domed city
    I saw rose lightning rose
    She wasn't perfect
    But she was semi-perfect
    And she remembered all about her days in yale
    Before they turned it into a sheet
    Of radio-active glass
    Thirty miles across

    And i always used to want to think if we could sing
    Loudly enough
    If we could sing strong enough
    And if we could sing
    Hopefully enough
    Then all of this madness would disappear
    And if we could sing
    Long enough
    If we could sing strong enough
    And if we could sing true enough
    It might carry us through next year

    Lalalalalalala
    Lalalalalala
    Lalalalalalala
    Lalalalalala

    Go and find rose and ask about nuclear
    Go and find rose and ask her "what now?"
    She'll tell you 'bout future
    She'll tell you 'bout how to live beyond the pale

    When the time comes...seize it
    When the dream starts....believe in it
    When the light shines...oh, bathe in it

    And now we'll have to be
    Strong enough
    Have to work long enough
    And if we believe
    True enough
    Then much of this madness'll disappear

    I'll be the one
    She said
    I'll be the only one
    In the aftermath of atomic fire
    I'll carry us through next year

    Lalalalalalala
    Lalalalalala
    Lalalalala

    Unused lyrics from lyric sheet:
    What if the world was turned around
    What if nuclear plants worked
    What if nuclear bombs didn't
    What if they held nuclear disarmament
    Talks in antarctica instead of switzerland
    (in igloos, not fancy hotels!) they'd be
    Over and done
    In six hours, and be on their way home
    Imagine, the light
    And imagined that rose was here tonight
    And there in her eyes
    Was a reason to live
    A reason to fight
    A reason to die
    It scared me....it elevated me
    I would do things for her
    That i wouldn't do for my mother
    My country
    My lover
    Tis of thee
    I sing
    Sweet girl of liberty
    Sweet bird of freedom
