Brave New World

Lyrics

We're gonna build a whole new world for ourselves
 Look, they clap eyes on us and we're dead, right?
 So we gotta make a new life where they'll never find us
 You know where? Underground
 You should see it down there, hundreds of miles of drains
 Sweet and clean now after the rain
 Dark, quiet, safe. We can build houses and everything
 Start again from scratch
 And what's so bad about living underground eh?
 It's not been so great living up here, if you want my opinion
 Take a look around you at the world we've come to know
 Does it seem to be much more than a crazy circus show
 But maybe from the madness something beautiful will grow
 In a brave new world
 With just a handful of men
 We'll start, we'll start all over again
 All over again, all over again, all over again
 We'll build shops and hospitals and barracks right under their noses, right under their feet!
 Everything we need, banks, prisons and schools
 We'll send scouting parties to collect books and stuff, and men like you will teach the kids
 Not poems and rubbish, science, so we can get everything working
 We'll build villages and towns and... and we'll play each other at cricket!
 Listen, maybe one day we'll capture a fighting machine, eh?
 Learn how to make 'em ourselves and then wallop!
 Our turn to do some wiping out!
 Whoosh with our Heat Ray
 Whoosh! And them running and dying
 Beaten at their own game
 Man on top again!
 Now our domination of the Earth is fading fast
 And out of the confusion the chance has come at last
 To build a better future from the ashes of the past
 In a brave new world
 Give me a handful of men
 We'll start all over again
 Look, man is born in freedom an' he soon becomes a slave
 In cages of convention from the cradle to the grave
 The weak fall by the wayside but the strong will be saved
 In a brave new world
 With just a handful of men
 We'll start all over again
 I'm not trying to tell ya what to be
 Oh no, oh no, not me
 But if mankind is to survive
 The people left alive
 They're gonna have to build this world anew
 Yes and we will have to be the chosen few
 Just think of all the poverty, the hatred and the lies
 And imagine the destruction of all that you despise
 Slowly from the ashes that phoenix will arise
 In a brave new world
 With just a handful of men
 We'll start, we'll start all over again
 All over again, all over again, all over again
 I've got a plan!
