Barclay James Harvest - Happy Old World Lyrics
Looking like something from out of space we cameNothing much to look at, but did he complain?He didn't mind us being here to live in peace and graceWhat we're doing to him now could put us back in spaceWe're thinking like some creatures off the ocean floorLosing sight of what we've really come here forCan i be heard above the sounds of prejudice and hate?Take time to look around before it gets too lateIt's a happy old worldGive and take a bitThat's what you make of itA happy old worldBut i'm sorry to be leaving itIt's a happy old worldGive and take a bitThat's what you make of itA happy old worldBut i guess i still, i still believe in itIt's a happy old worldWe're tearing up the rivers and a thousand streamsAnd highways, they're in places where they've never beenWe're building towers in the sky and racing for the sunOh lord, any eye can see what harm we've doneI need some help to get myself out of this mazeWe can both just say goodbye and go our separate waysMy mind's not on this song i sing, my heart's not in the linesGuess i'll go and kill myself, so would you kindly close the blindsOh a happy old worldGive and take a bitThat's what you make of itA happy old worldBut i'm sorry to be leaving itIt's a happy old worldGive and take a bitThat's what you make of itA happy old worldBut i guess, guess i still believe in itIt's a happy old world
