From the recording Armageddon and other love songs.
It was safe out on Long Island,
Since our daddies won the war,
They sailed back across the ocean,
And never felt a thing,
All the world was free and pretty,
All positions black or white,
Cousin Brucie on the dial,
We heard the Partridge Family sing,
Wars and revolutions seemed so very far away,
Nuclear holocaust, a madman’s dream,
We had a color TV, Big Blue Chrysler in the driveway,
And man oh man, could that Patridge Family sing,
Life was an open invitation,
To things American and true,
We were strong and we were righteous,
All hail the red, white and blue,
As to those of different colors,
They seemed so distant faraway,
See we had a bad-ass eagle,
To help to keep them at bay,
All the commies and the fascist seemed so very faraway,
Never get closer, then a dictator’s dream,
We had a color TV, Big Blue Chrysler in the driveway,
And man oh man, could that Partridge Family sing,
We pledged our allegiance to baseball and John Wayne,
And proudly played our parts in the American Dream,
We were the dominant species all the world was our domain,
And the people of the planet would fall to their knees,
Life was one grand adventure, going my way,
And the city lights, they shined just for me,
We had a color TV, Big Blue Chrysler in the driveway,
And man oh man, could that Partridge Family sing,
And man oh man could that Partridge Family sing…
