Apollo 440 - Children of the Future lyrics

Now, the children of the future tried to come to terms With the industrialised nations and their corporate firms To decontaminate the planet and meet their demands Detoxify the oceans, rivers, lakes and lands Purify the air, get rid of nuclear waste Put it on the a rocket ship and send it into space Tone down, bone down, hone down, hatred! 'til love for the most highest creation is sacred Rectify, recompense, re-evaluation; Clarify, satisfy, the current situation Spiritualize, realise, crystallise aspirations; Recognise, stabilise, the unity of nations Take all the bullsh** and bury it with a shovel Quit the lying, spying, alibi-in' daring the devil But the parents of the future, like the ones in the past Had an apocalyptic childhood and the die was cast Those among their leaders were the children of the present And some of them were devious and extremely unpleasant Irradiated, mutated, DNA deranged Sci-fi, sinister, slick and strange In a megalo-manic, satanic, pseudo-scientific mode At the pavilion of oblivion based on creed and code The super secret, inclandestine, indiscreet elite Saw their conquest of nature ending in defeat They had dared to do what they shouldn't have done And the planet overheated from the rays of the sun You couldn't tell them nothing 'cos they didn't wanna hear it And were oppressing all the people 'til they just couldn't bear it And so the children of the future went underground So deep down that they couldn't be found Fleeing for their lives for all it was worth They burrowed in their capsules 'til they reached the third earth At the depth that was equal to the stratosphere They met the underground dwellers who lived down there These subterraneans were evolved and were aware of the facts And gave the children shelter then covered their backs They were illuminated, elevated, extrasensory heightened Transcendental, mega-mental, fully enlighten Into teleportation, levitation, meditation, cryptographics Clairvoyance, telekinetics, astral travel, telepathics Comprehensive comprehension, total memory retention In every third eye seeing subterranean state of being Within a multiple dimension, a gravitational suspension Then they taught all the children 'bout the secrets of life To gain inner peace instead of stress and strife Meanwhile the mutated, fabricated, tyrants and such Were trying to colonise space but it was mega too much Their computers were deluders and androgynous clones And had the planet subdivided into no-go zones With their doomsday scenarios all coming to pa** They were holding out, in dread and doubt until the last While the pursuit of the children had been in vain With everything to lose and nothing to gain Making war on the surface time and time again Until the end was beginning from beginning to end But the children of the future had learnt the arts Immunity of mind, body, spirit and hearts They kept on evolving 'til they the reached the stage When the children of the future finally came of age For d**h had taught them what life was worth And had prepared them for the task of leaving planet earth Then a starship came from deep within outer space And took the children of the future to join the cosmic race
