Hazel O'Connor - Eighth Day Lyrics
In the beginning was the word, man said: Let there be more lightElectric scenes and laser beams, neon brights the light abhorring nightsOn the second day he said: Let's have a gasHydrogen and cholera and pestLet's make some germs, we'll poison the wormsMan will never be suppressedAnd he said: Behold what I have doneI've made a better world for everyoneNobody laugh, nobody cryWorld without end, forever and everAmen, amen, amenOn the third we get green and blue for pieOn the fourth we send rockets to the skyOn the fifth make the beasts and submarinesOn the sixth man prepares his final dream:In our image, let's make robots for our slavesImagine all the time that we can saveComputers, machines, the silicon dreamSeventh he retired from the sceneAnd he said: Behold what I have doneI've made a better world for everyoneNobody laugh, nobody cryWorld without end, forever and everAmen (amen), amen (amen), amen (amen)On the eighth day machine just got upsetA problem man had never seen as yetNo time for flight, a blinding lightAnd nothing but a void, forever nightHe said: Behold what man has doneThere's not a world for anyoneNobody laughed, nobody criedWorld's at an end, everyone has diedForever amen (amen), amen (amen), amen (amen)He said: Behold what man has doneThere's not a world for anyoneNobody laughed, nobody criedWorld's at an end, everyone has diedForever amen (amen), amen (amen), amen (amen)(Amen
