Children with needles and tourniquets tied
Suburbia sprawls like a eat
Man-made euphoria's melt your insides
Superbugs chew on the fat
So here's to your gift of industrial hell
Here's in the progress you've made
The feeders arc feeding the cows to the cows
Seems like the planet's been laid
Chorus:
All the wisemen say
The universe is oval like an egg
Life's the dream of souls
Vibration, light and density
And all the wisemen pray
Bumper to bumper from city to town
Oh, for the freedom of ears
Caught in a cycle that's spiralling down
Pinning our hope in the stars
Thank you for tearing that hole in my sky
And putting that Swat on the moon
Praise be for thirty-six channels of shite
Lounge lizards dance to the tune
See the albatross glide
Overseas far and wide
Pretty in flight
We'll all one and the same
Jesus I must be insane
To believe in everything
Yes I believe in everything ..
Yes I believe in everything ..
Chorus
7. Great Ordeal
We're way out there, living on hand-outs for our pay
Yeah, we're happy taktng the luck that comes our way
We've got a mortgage on ç cardboard box near Brighton town
It's by the sea, we'll settle down
Just you and me
Come on down and take a look
We're living in a Dickens book
Write it down it's all for real
The story of our great ordeal
Our great ordeal
We're not useless, so we get hungry now and then
I get so tired, weekends I'm in the box by ten
Sometimes I hear a soft voice whispering across the sea
We'll make that voyage just you and me
Some fine day
Come on down and take a look
We're living in a Dickens book
Write it down it's all for real
The story of our great ordeal
Our great ordeal

10. The White Dove Song
We sat and talked for hours and hours
Like thin white men in ivory towers
The yellow moon just smiled
And showered beams on us alone
So it seemed
We viewed the world within the lake
Two in a dream yet still awake
We prayed for peace on earth
We felt divine for what it's worth
Oh, we cried
Then all gods children turned away
The white dove song was over
We dropped a bitter trip that day
And grew a little older
The day the white dove song was over
Then as we climbed to higher plains
We felt like millionaires in chains
The lake began to swell
But breathing out, it's level fell
Though I'm not sure
A million revelations past
Creations key within my grasp
And then a voice called from behind
It smashed the trance and blew my mind
The lake turned red
Then all gods children4
turned away
The white dove song was over
We dropped a bitter trip that And grew a little older
The day the white dove song was over
Take a trip a day Chase the blues away
All gods children turned away
The white dove song was over
We dropped a bitter trip that day
And we grew a little older
The day the white dove song was over
Take a trip a day
Chase the blues away
11. Sandheads
If I've touched upon things that made you think I was a lout
Emotional Creature, my river runs deep in times of drought
Well it's just my way of telling you what I think it's all about
If you've got the courage to whisper, why not shout it out ?
Most folks seem to bury their noggin deep in the sand
Just fussing and fighting and getting stressed for a couple of grand
Once this land of our fathers stood peacefully under blue sky
Now mankind swarms like the locust, and bleeds the earth dry
Sandheads roam the dark halls at Westminster
Till they seep through the floorboards and drown in the Thames
Sandheads run the place they called America
Where the hourglass subsides to a tearful lament
Sandheads oil the great wheels of industry
But the workers crawl home and they sit by the box
Still sand in their socks
Back to society's clutches where they keep me in line
And living in fear at the mushroom cloud seems to be fine
Sandheads listen The tides come to sweep you away
Sandheads listen, the victory is ours at the end of the day
Sandheads listen, the tides come to sweep you away
Sandheads listen, no blood from a stone at the end of the day
