In bed sittin' and readin' By the T. V. light
Stay away from the window Thunder and lightenin'
And the rain, the rain keeps fallin' down
That's somethin' that hasn't changed
Yeah, there's somethin' inside me It's quiet when it rains
At the end of the rainbow
There ain't no pot of gold
And the light in the mornin', hardly ever shows
Ain't no easy livin' everybody knows
And it's all around us 70's scenario

Yes, she called me a prisoner In a prison of the mass
She said acceptance of the future Is freedom from the past
And I laugh and I say "That's alright, things really ain't that tough
As long as I'm still able To turn the T.V. off"
At the end of the rainbow
There ain't no pot of gold
And the light in the mornin' hardly ever shows
Ain't no reason livin' everybody knows
And it's all around us
70's scenario

Oh, at the end of the rainbow
There ain't no pot of gold
And the light in the mornin' hardly ever shows
Ain't no reason livin' everybody knows
And it's all around, all around, all around 70's scenario
At the end of the rainbow
There ain't no pot of gold
And the light in the mornin' hardly ever shows, hardly ever shows Ain't no reason livin' everybody knows, everybody knows
And it's all around, all around, all around 70's scenario
