No more Iraqs,

No more Somalias,

No more Vietnams,

The beat goes on, the beat goes on,

Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain,

La de da de de, la de da de da...

"Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter – tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . And one fine morning – So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back endlessly into the past."
