Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
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
