Xtc - This World Over Lyrics
Ah well, thats this world overAh well, next one beginsWill you smile like any motherAs you bathe your brand new twins?Will you sing about the missilesAs you dry odd numbered limbs?Ah well, thats this world overAh well, next one beginsAh well, thats this world overYou sadly grinWill you tell them about that far off and mythical landAbout their leader with the famous face?Will you tell them that the reason nothing ever growsIn the garden anymoreBecause he wanted to win the craziest raceThats this world overWill you smile like any fatherWith your children on a sunday hike?When you get to a sea of rubbleAnd they ask ``what was london like?You tell them, ``ah well, thats the world overWill you tell them about that far off and mythical landAnd how a child to the virgin came?Will you tell them that the reason why we murderedEverything upon the surface of the worldSo we can stand right up and say we did it in his name?Thats this world overOr so it seemsThats this world overThe end of dreamsThats this world over, over, over and out.
