Brave New World (feat. Liam Neeson & Ricky Wilson)

We're gonna build a whole new world for ourselves

Look, they clamp eyes on us and we're dead, right?

So, we gotta make a new life where they'll never find us

You know where? Underground

You should see it down there

Hundreds of miles of drains

Sweet and clean now after the rain

Dark, quiet, safe

We can build houses and everything

Start again from scratch

And what's so bad about living underground, eh?

S'not been so great living up here if you want my opinion

Take a look around you

At the world we've come to know

Does it seem to be much more

Than a crazy circus show

But maybe from the madness

Something beautiful will grow

In a brave new world

With just a handful of men

We'll start

We'll start all over again

All over again

All over again

All over again

We'll build shops and hospitals and barracks

Right under their noses, right under their feet

Everything we need, banks, prisons, and schools

We'll send scouting parties to collect books and stuff

And men like you will teach the kids

Not poems and rubbish, science

So we can get everything working

We'll build villages and towns and

And we'll play each other at cricket

Listen

Maybe one day we'll capture a fighting machine, eh

Learn how to make 'em ourselves and then

WALLOP

Our turn to do some wiping out

WOOSH with our heat ray, WOOSH

And them running and dying

Beaten at their own game

Man on top again

Now our domination of the earth is fading fast

And out of the confusion the chance has come at last

To build a better future from the ashes of the past

In a brave new world

Give me a handful of men

We'll start all over again

Look

Look, man is born in freedom, but he soon becomes a slave

In cages of convention from the cradle to the grave

The weak fall by the wayside, but the strong will be saved

In a brave new world

With just a handful of men

We'll start all over again

I'm not trying to tell you what to be

Oh no, oh no, not me

But if mankind is to survive, the people left alive

They're gonna have to build this world anew

And it's going to have to start with me and you

YES

I'm not trying to tell you what to be

Oh no, oh no, not me

But if mankind is to survive, the people left alive

They're gonna have to build this world anew

Yes, and we will have to be the chosen few

Just think of all the poverty, the hated and the lies

And imagine the destruction of all that you despise

Slowly from the ashes, the phoenix will arise

In a brave new world

With just a handful of men

We'll start all over again

Take a look around you at the world you've loved so well

And bid the aging empire of man a last farewell

It may not sound like heaven, but at least it isn't hell

It's a brave new world

With just a handful of men

We'll start, we'll start all over again

All over again

All over again

All over again

I'VE GOT A PLAN

Can't you just see it?

Civilization starting all over again

A second chance, ha

We'll even build a railway and tunnel to the coast

Go there for our holidays

Nothing can stop men like us

I've made a start already

Come on down here, have a look

In the cellar was a tunnel scarcely ten yards long

That  had taken him a week to dig

I could have dug that much in a day

And I suddenly had my first inkling

Of the gulf between his dreams and his powers

It's doing the working and the thinking that wear a fellow out

I'm ready for a bit of a rest, how 'bout a drink, eh?

Nothing but champagne now I'm the boss

We drank and then he insisted upon playing cards

With our species on the edge of extermination

With no prospect but a horrible death

We actually played games

Later, he talked more of his plan

But I saw flames flashing in the deep blue night

Red weed glowing, tripod figures moving distantly

And I put down my champagne glass

I felt a traitor to my kind

And I knew I must leave this strange dreamer

Take a look around you

At the world we've come to know

Does it seem to be much more

Than a crazy circus show?

But maybe from the madness

Something beautiful will grow
