Speaking of marketing
One of today's greatest marketing triumphs in the entertainment field
Is video games
It's a business which has tripled in size in just three years
Ron Inman went out to bring us this special report
All over the country arrays of young people are blasting away invaders from outer space
And paying for the privilege I'll be looking at the electronic game craze
Which is not only fascinating the nation
But which is bringing in some interesting problems as well
Although it looked innocent enough
This machine turned out to have some unusual powers
It kept kids mesmerized for hours
We are not a sentimental age
We don't want our parent's china or their ticker tape parades
We are not a sentimental age
We're out getting high on fire escapes
We are hooking up with strangers we will never see again
We are not a sentimental age [x2]
But when I dream, we're all melting together
Synchronized in a mass embrace
Beads of water folding together
Like a north shore wave
How strange
We're parts of each other how strange
I'll never even know your name
I wanna keep dreaming [x?]
We are not a sentimental age
On our shoulders is a boulder of a debt we cannot pay
We are not a sentimental age
Diagnosis says I tend to disengage
I'd rather have my privacy, I'd rather have my space
These are just the pills I have to take
We are not a sentimental age
But when I dream, we're all melting together
Synchronized in a mass embrace
Beads of water folding together
Like a north shore wave
How strange
We're parts of each other how strange
I'll never even know your name
I wanna keep dreaming [x?]
I'll never even know your name
[x2]
We are not a sentimental age
We don't want our parent's china or their ticker tape parades
We are not a sentimental age [x2]
