(It's the Eighties, So Where's Our) Rocket Packs

It's the eighties
It's the eighties so where's our rocket packs
It's the eighties so where's our rocket packs?
Go anywhere, we strap them on our backs
1. (It's the eighties so where's our rocket packs?)
I thought by now I'd walk the moon
And ride a car without no tires
And have a robot run the vacuum
And date a girl made out of wires
No thing's don't change that much, do they?
We are still out of touch, by now we should discover
Just how to love each other, like Klattus' robot man
Your looks have killed again
2. (It's the eighties so where's our rocket packs?)
I thought by now we'd live in space
And eat a pill instead of dinner
And wear a gas mask on our face a President of female gender
Though progress marches on, (new day)
Our troubles will grow strong
And my expectancies, become my fantasies
You turn my blood to sand, the earth stands still again
My hopes are running low
things moving much too slow
No space men up above
And we're still so very far from love
3. (It's the eighties so where's our rocket packs?)
I thought by now we'd build a dome
Around the world, control the weather
In every house, a picture phone; communicate a little better
But some things never change (replay!)
You are still acting strange
No way that I can see, this way we will be free
La la la la la la,la la la la la 7,6,5,4,3,2,1 Lift off!
(It's the eighties so where's our rocket packs?)
Repeat 1, 2, 3
(It's the eighties)
 
Heck, everyone knows Howard Huges developed a jet pack back in the 1930s and the Nazis wanted it 😛 😛 😛 😛
 


<< The jetpack's been around for a while, it just wasn't very efficient 🙂 >>



Yeah I read in Stuff that its been around since the 1960s. Supposedly its extremely loud (to the point of deafening the user) and it can only hold enough fuel for a 23 second flight time. That was a real jetpack using jet fuel, this article jetpack seems more like a wearable helicopter.
 
Jetpackes sound cool. But in reality having 50 pounds of Liquid fuel on your back and lighting a fire may not be the best idea. But you could say the same thing about jet plans and there safe.
 
The guy who invented the original one that was actually used in a classic James Bond movie still has it in Houston. All I know is that it wasn't developed further due so legal BS with his partner. There was a demonstration of it 2 years ago.
