Steve Harley - 2000 Years From Now lyrics

He wakes, the celebrating is done Still he silently screams Alone, alone, lost on silent street He sits, motionless, in his corner Head in hands, disbelieving The shame, the shame A cost he cannot meet And so nobody takes his side No, nobody saves his life 2,000 years from now What'll the history tell? Mankind, disgraced and lost in hell 2,000 years from now What'll the history show? Mankind destroyed itself, oh no! The gun, shooting-stick and the collar Fog the eye of his dreams Alone, alone, nothing's what it seems And no, nobody takes his side And no, nobody saves his life 2,000 years from now What'll the history tell? Mankind, disgraced and lost in hell 2,000 years from now What'll the history show? Mankind destroyed itself, oh no! He runs, breaking out of his cover Shaking free of his chains Crawls, he falls, motionless again And so nobody takes his side And no, nobody saves his life 2,000 years from now What'll the history tell? Mankind, disgraced and lost in hell 2,000 years from now What'll the history show? Mankind destroyed itself, oh no! (2,000 years from now) (What'll the history tell?) (Mankind, disgraced and lost in hell) (2,000 years from now) (What'll the history show?) (Mankind destroyed itself, oh no!) (2,000 years from now) (What'll the history tell?) (Mankind, disgraced and lost in hell) (2,000 years from now) (What'll the history show?) (Mankind destroyed itself, oh no!)
