The Sun used to shine on my street, on my street
The Moon was visible at all times
Yeah, yeah yeah

Light bulbs substituting my moonlight
Rays of the Sun reflect all men
You're the only thing that's real in my life
Yeah

Took the work from a horse
Gave it an engine
Cars paper wings blue birds
They just had to fly
I wonder what's next, what's next
Watch out my love
It could be you

If you start acting strange
If love ever changed
I'd be suspicious of their modern-day scheme
Replacing a woman with a love machine

Before fading, yeah

Synthetic substitution has taken over this land
There's no one to blame but man, yeah
If we'd only give in to defeat
Face reality, we can't even walk the street

There they go off to the Moon
I can't afford a honeymoon, no

The hustlers say, we're hustlin' backwards

No, no, no!
Synthetic substitution
