"Stranded In Reality" lyrics - IAN HUNTER & THE RANT BAND

Let me unveil a sobering tale
I bought my spaceship secondhand
Shoulda known better, the steering jammed
I'm looking all over for a place to land
Episode two: Earth to the rescue

Somebody pulled the emergency cord
Everybody jumped overboard
And I wound up in the maternity ward
It was a baptism, baptism, baptism, baptism, baptism, baptism by fire

[Chorus:]
Stranded in reality
It's a dodgy proposition
They still believe in fairy tales
And lots of ammunition, yeah

Adolescence, it doesn't make any sense
Anti-social media saw their communication cords
And something in me wants to roar
Bat crazy, bat crazy, bat crazy, bat crazy, bat crazy

[Chorus:]
Stranded in reality
It's the age of the deluded
Everybody's got a brain
But the batteries ain't included
Let's go

Let me conclude this sad interlude
The spaceship's fixed but what do you know
PCB won't let us go and all I said was UFO
UFO, UFO, UFO, UFO, UFO

[Chorus:]
Stranded in reality
And I ain't too optimistic
Realism upped and left
It's all materialistic
I'm stranded in reality
I'm beginning to see what this is
Give the people what they want
Or it's gonna be bad for business

[Outro:]
I'm stranded in reality
Why am I losing my enthusiasm?
Why am I losing my enthusiasm?
Why am I losing my enthusiasm?
Why am I losing my enthusiasm?
Why am I losing my enthusiasm?
Why am I losing my enthusiasm?
Why am I losing my enthusiasm?
