Happy Old World — текст песни (The Barclay James Harvest)

Looking like something from out of space we came
Nothing much to look at, but did he complain?
He didn`t mind us being here to live in peace and grace
What we`re doing to him now could put us back in space
We`re thinking like some creatures off the ocean floor
Losing sight of what we`ve really come here for
Can I be heard above the sounds of prejudice and hate?
Take time to look around before it gets too late
It`s a happy old world
Give and take a bit
That`s what you make of it
A happy old world
But I`m sorry to be leaving it
It`s a happy old world
Give and take a bit
That`s what you make of it
A happy old world
But I guess I still, I still believe in it
It`s a happy old world

We`re tearing up the rivers and a thousand streams
And highways, they`re in places where they`ve never been
We`re building towers in the sky and racing for the sun
Oh Lord, any eye can see what harm we`ve done
I need some help to get myself out of this maze
We can both just say goodbye and go our separate ways
My mind`s not on this song I sing, my heart`s not in the lines
Guess I`ll go and kill myself, so would you kindly close the blinds

Oh a happy old world
Give and take a bit
That`s what you make of it
A happy old world
But I`m sorry to be leaving it
It`s a happy old world
Give and take a bit
That`s what you make of it
A happy old world
But I guess, guess I still believe in it
It`s a happy old world
