Lyrics

We're gonna build a whole new world for ourselves Look, they clap 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? It'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! Whoosh with our Heat Ray Whoosh! 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, man is born in freedom an' 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 ya 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 hatred and the lies And imagine the destruction of all that you despise Slowly from the ashes that phoenix will arise 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 I've got a plan!
