Heavy Water Lyrics - Brave New World - Styx

Written by james young 

Lead vocals by james young 

Sittin' here on terra firma 

It's the kind of place we were meant to be 

Out here kinda lost in space now 

Pondering life's mysteries 

All of minkind worship at the altar 

Of old mythology 

But the genie's out of the bottle 

Collision course with eternity 

Young children playing in the chat room 

With the freaks and the satellites 

Upload the nearset planet 

Burnin' out at the speed of light 

Better living for the masses 

With the new technology 

But some fool went and pushed the button 

He didn't get an apology 

Feeling good is a new sensation 

Panacea for the prozac nation 

Heavy, heavy water 

Won't wash away the sins of the father 

Sacred cow sizzling in the fire 

As we all go up in flames 

With millions of true believers 

And their unfamiliar names 

On the road to good intentions 

Blown to hell by our own inventions 

Heavy, heavy water 

Won't wash away the sins of the father 

Unholy, holy water 

Leading us like lambs to the... 

Custom made for the self reliant 

Lemonade for the thirsty giant 

Heavy, heavy water 

Won't wash away the sins of the father 

Unholy, holy water 

Leading us like lambs to the (slaughter)
