Eighth Day

Hazel O'Connor
In the beginning was a word
Man said "Let there be more light"
Electric neon like the
On the second day he said "Let's have a gas"
Hydrogen and power plants
Let's make some germs, we'll poison the worms
And he said:
Man will never be surpassed
Behold, what man has done
"I've made a better world for everyone
Nobody laughed, nobody cried
All that had lived forever and ever"
Amen, Amen, Amen

On the third we get freedom
On the fourth we send rockets to the sky
On the fifth 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 laughed, nobody cried
All that had lived forever and ever
Amen, Amen, Amen

On the eighth day, machine just got upset
A problem man had not foreseen as yet
Time for flight
Blinded by forever night

He said:
"Behold, what man has done
There's not a world for everyone"
Nobody laughed, nobody cried
All that had lived, everyone had died
Forever
Amen, Amen, Amen

He said:
"Behold, what man has done,
There's not a world for everyone"
Nobody laughed, nobody cried
All that had lived, everyone had died
Forever
Amen, Amen, Amen
