Eighth Day Lyrics - Hazel O'connor

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 suppressed 

And he said, "Behold what I have done 

I've made a better world for everyone 

Nobody laugh, nobody cry 

World without end, forever and ever" 

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 make the 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 

World without end, forever and ever" 

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 

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 

World's at an end, everyone has died" 

Forever amen, amen, amen 

Amen
