[00:14.96]And the age of our innocence is somewhere in the garden. [00:22.32] [00:27.57]We like the music of the sixties [00:32.24]It's The Rolling Stones [00:33.93]The Beatles and The Doors. [00:37.74]Flower children [00:39.11]Woodstock and the war. [00:43.35]Ah [00:43.73]but it's getting harder to deceive us.

[02:00.07]Our brains are turning to jello [02:04.94] [02:06.18]We are looking forward to the days when we live inside of a purple haze. [02:14.42] [02:14.98]And the salvation of the soul is Rock and Roll [02:22.43]We are the children of the eighties haven't we grown [02:28.25] [02:28.86]We're tender as a lotus and we're tougher than stone And the age of our innocence is somewhere in the garden [02:41.17] [02:45.86]Recently have you looked in our eyes [02:50.78]Maybe with your conscience in disguise.
