Lyrics for Whatever Happened To?

What ever happened to twin sets? What ever happened to Hi-fi? What ever happened to TV sex? What ever happened to you and I? Your passion is a product Of highlight and detail. That come hither look-- Bonus offer retail. Whatever happened to pick-up trucks? Whatever happened to yellow pages? Whatever happened to burning books? Whatever happened to new ages? Your emotions are cheap-- Cut, price, cash and carry. You wear your heart on your sleeve For any Tom, Dick, or Harry. Your love is a cashed-in cheque. Oh oh, that's the way of all flesh! Whatever happened to Chairman Mao? Whatever happened to God above? Whatever happened to the cow? Whatever happened to plug-in love? Your pasteurised life-- So fit for consumption. Ooh, those undressing eyes-- So strictly commercial. Your love is a cashed-in cheque Oh oh, that's the way of all flesh! All flesh! All flesh!
