In bed sittin' and reading by the T. V. light
Stay away from the window, thunder and lighting
And the rain, the rain keeps fallin' down
That's something that hasn't changed
Yeah, there's something inside me, it's quiet when it rains
At the end of the rainbow, there ain't no pot of gold
And the light in the morning, hardly ever shows
Ain't no easy living, everybody knows
And it's all around us........
70's Scenario
She called me a prisoner, in a prison of the mass
She said acceptance from the future, is freedom from the past
And I laugh, and say "that's alright"
Things really ain't that tough
As long as I'm still able, to turn the T.V. off
At the end of the rainbow, there ain't no pot of gold
And the light in the morning, hardly ever shows
Ain't no reason living, everybody knows
And it's all around us........
70's Scenario
At the end of the rainbow, there ain't no pot of gold
And the light in the morning, hardly ever shows
Ain't no reason living, everybody knows
And it's all around us........
70's Scenario

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
