OK, ready. Let’s do it
Listen to the voice of Buddha
Saying stop your sericulture
Little people like your offspring
Boiled alive for some god’s stocking
Buddha’s watching, Buddha’s waiting
Just because the kid’s an orphan
Is no excuse for thoughtless slaying
Children don’t forget this torture
Just because you call her mother
Doesn’t mean that she’s your better
Once more with the voice of Buddha
He’ll say carry on your slaughter
Who cares for the little children
You may slice with no conviction
Blind revenge on a blameless victim
Oakey/Wright)
When all the money’s gone
When all the boys move on
No star to wish upon
When every race is run
In the quiet of the morning
Lying in the morning sun
Ruins of another country
Day has just begun
Blown by the desert breeze
No memory of trees
No mercy from the sky
No avenue to try
In the quiet of the morning
Lying in the morning sun
Ruins of another country
Day has just begun
When all the money’s gone
When all the boys move on
No star to wish upon
When every race is run
In the quiet of the morning
Lying in the morning sun
Ruins of another country
Day has just begun
Lyrics by Philip Oakey
No future they say
But must it be that way?
Now is calling
The city is human
Chorus :
Blind youth take hope
You’re no Joe Soap
Your time is due
Big fun come soon
We’ve had it easy, we should be glad
High-rise living’s not so bad
(Chorus)
Dehumanisation
Is such a big word
It’s been around since
Richard The Third
Dehumanisation
It’s easy to say
But if you’re not a hermit
You know the city’s OK
No future they say
But must it be that way
Now is calling
The city is human
(Repeat chorus twice)
We’ve had it easy, we should be glad
High-rise living’s not so bad
(Repeat chorus three times
Boys and girls come out to play
Playing till they’re old and grey
Time to leave the old school suit
Grown ups can be real cute
Do you think they’re wiser than in the past?
How long do you think it’s gonna last?
I don’t have to prove to you
Adults can be kidding too
Chorus :
Boys and girls I
Love you dearly
But I hate to
Have you near me
Boys and girls
Boys and girls
Boys and girls
Boys and girls stay home today
Think they’re more mature that way
Secret friends can soon be found
Indiscretions underground
Maybe growing up can seem more graceful
If they make their style become more tasteful
With your looks you could go far
But better watch the calendar
(Chorus)
Boys and girls I
Love you dearly
But I hate to
Have you near me
(Chorus
In just a few moments we’re off to Hawaii to join Steve McGarrett and
the team for tonight’s adventure”
Nine o’clock flight from Hawaii
The Trident is just touching down
We’re waiting here on the tarmac
McGarrett is wearing a frown
He’s here to help with a problem
A blood-spattered curse on our land
Please cast your eye over this map, sir
This business is quite out of hand
The circus of death is approaching
Its pathway is painted in red
Before it the frightened and helpless
Behind it a trail of the dead
The narcotic that forges their union
Is a substance known only to one
To the clown it is known as Dominion
It’s a secret that he’ll give to none
The drug which gives the clown power
Means the circus can never be stopped
And his dream can go on unhindered
Till the last human being has dropped
Spare me and my family
I’ve done you no wrong
Go away, please let us be
I’ve known you for too long
