From the recording UN-United Nations BLUE
If you were to create a world
What would it look like?
Would it be angry and red
Or peaceful and blue like this one?
Who would inhabit your world?
And as more land rose from the sea
What would they do with it?
Lyrics
Al Steele
Back when we were beginners
No saints, there are no sinners
Just an un-named hunger within us
On this first green patch...
of land
Al Steele/James Warren
When the world began
Fish on legs we crawled out from the sea
we're free
Now it's down the pan
Two thousand years ago we held the key
Majestic creations
inspiring greatness in nations
Senseless relentlessly we've
Been building our mud huts, over their palaces
To all of their challenges, we did rapidly fall
Yes we're still building our mud huts, over their palaces
Look at all we hold dear
and It's perfectly clear
How we've grown so incredibly small
Big machines rolled in
Ignoring all, ten thousand hungry men
Condemned
Then the beast it came
Silently it grew and spun it's web
Not so easy to reason
The genie back into the bottle
Redesigning the grand plan
With his flawless perception of man
Building our mud huts, over their palaces
To all of their challenges, we did rapidly fall
Yes we're still building our mud huts, over their palaces
though we try to defend, It's a hollow pretend
We've grown so incredibly
Tense and cruel
Content to be foolish
Wide-eyed and wayward
And blindly, happy to live in our..
SOLO
CHORUS 1
Maybe we should find a cave
And hide so no-one sees
The ones who once were tall are now
Just standing on their knees
Can we just stop and take a breath...
Please?
