Lyrics
In the beginning was a word
Man said, "Let there be more light"
Electric scenes and laser 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 suppressed"
And he said, "Behold what I have done
I've made a better world for everyone
Nobody laugh, nobody cry
A world without end, forever and ever"
Amen (amen), amen (amen), amen (amen)
On the third, we get green and blue pill pie
On the fourth, we send rockets to the sky
On the fifth, metal beasts and submarines
On 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
Seventh, he retired from the scene
And he said, "Behold what I have done
I've made a better world for everyone
Nobody laugh, nobody cry
A world without end, forever and ever"
Amen (amen), amen (amen), amen (amen)
On the eighth day, machine just got upset
A problem man had never seen as yet
No time for flight, a blinding light
And nothing but a void, forever night
He said, "Behold what man has done
There's not a world for anyone
Nobody laughed, nobody cried
A world at an end, everyone has died"
Forever amen (amen), amen (amen), amen (amen)
He said, "Behold what man has done
There's not a world for anyone
Nobody laughed, nobody cried
A world at an end, everyone has died"
Forever amen (amen), amen (amen), amen (amen)
(Amen)
