Eighth Day

In the beginning was a world

Man said, "Let there be more light"

Electric scenes, a maze of beams

Neon brights to light our boring nights

On the second day he said, "Let's have a gas"

Hydrogen and CO are of the past

Let's make some germs, we'll poison the worms

Man will never be surpassed

And he said, "Behold what I have done

I've made a better world for everyone"

Nobody laughed, nobody cried

A world without end, forever and ever

Amen, amen, amen

On the third, we get green and blue pill pie

The fourth, we send rockets to the sky

The fifth, metal beasts and submarines

The sixth, man prepares his final dream

In our image, let's make robots for our slaves

Imagine all the time that we can save

Computers, machines, the silicon dream

The seventh, he retired from the scene

And he said, "Behold what I have done

I've made a better world for everyone"

Nobody laughed, nobody cried

A world without end, forever and ever

Amen, amen, amen

On the eighth day, machine just got upset

A problem man had not foreseen as yet

No time for flight, a blinding light

Then nothing but a void, forever night

He said, "Behold what man has done

There's not a world for anyone"

Nobody laughed, nobody cried

The world's at an end, everyone has died

Forever amen, amen, amen

He said, "Behold what man has done

There's not a world for anyone"

Nobody laughed, nobody cried

The world's at an end, everyone has died

Forever amen, amen, amen

Amen
