<br>

ARTILLERYMAN: We're gonna build a whole new world for ourselves. Look, they<br>

clap eyes on us and we're dead, right?<br>

<br>

So we gotta make a new life where they'll never find us. You know where?<br>

Underground.<br>

<br>

You should see it down there - hundreds of miles of drains - sweet and clean now after<br>

the rain, dark, quiet, safe. We can build houses and everything, start again from scratch.<br>

<br>

And what's so bad about living underground eh? It's not been so great living up here, if<br>

you want my opinion.<br>

<br>

Take a look around you at the world we've come to know<br>

Does it seem to be much more than a crazy circus show<br>

But maybe from the madness something beautiful will grow<br>

In a brave new world<br>

<br>

With just a handful of men<br>

<br>

We'll start - we'll start all over again - all over again - all over again - all over again<br>

<br>

We'll build shops and hospitals and barracks right under their noses - right under their<br>

feet! Everything we need - banks, prisons and schools... We'll send scouting parties to<br>

collect books and stuff, and men like you'll teach the kids. Not poems and rubbish -<br>

science, so we can get everything working. We'll build villages and towns and... and...<br>

we'll play each other at cricket! Listen, maybe one day we'll capture a Fighting Machine,<br>

eh? Learn how to make 'em ourselves and then wallop! Our turn to do some wiping out!<br>

Whoosh with our Heat Ray - Whoosh! And them running and dying, beaten at their own<br>

game. Man on top again!<br>

<br>

Now our domination of the Earth is fading fast<br>

And out of the confusion the chance has come at last<br>

To build a better future from the ashes of the past<br>

<br>

In a brave new world<br>

With just a handful of men<br>

We'll start all over again<br>

<br>

Look - Man is born in freedom but he soon becomes a slave<br>

In cages of convention from the cradle to the grave<br>

The weak fall by the wayside but the strong will be saved<br>

<br>

In a brave new world<br>

With just a handful of men<br>

We'll start all over again<br>

<br>

I'm not trying to tell you what to be<br>

Oh no, oh no, not me<br>

But if mankind is to survive<br>

The people left alive<br>

They're gonna have to build this world anew<br>

And it's going to have to start with me and you<br>

<br>

Yes!<br>

<br>

I'm not trying to tell you what to be<br>

Oh no, oh no, not me<br>

But if mankind is to survive<br>

The people left alive<br>

They're gonna have to build this world anew<br>

Yes and we will have to be the chosen few<br>

<br>

Just think of all the poverty, the hatred and the lies<br>

And imagine the destruction of all that you despise<br>

Slowly from the ashes the phoenix will arise<br>

<br>

In a brave new world<br>

With just a handful of men<br>

We'll start all over again<br>

<br>

Take a look around you at the world you've loved so well<br>

And bid the ageing empire of man a last farewell<br>

It may not sound like Heaven but at least it isn't Hell<br>

<br>

It's a brave new world<br>

With just a handful of men<br>

We'll start - we'll start all over again - all over again - all over again - all over again.<br>

<br>

I've got a plan! <br>

<br>

Can't you just see it? Civilization starting all over again - a second chance. We'll even<br>

build a railway and tunnel to the coast, go there for our holidays. Nothing can stop men<br>

like us. I've made a start already. Come on down here and have a look.<br>

<br>

JOURNALIST: In the cellar was a tunnel scarcely ten yards long, that had<br>

taken him a week to dig. I could have dug that much in a day, and I suddenly had<br>

my first inkling of the gulf between his dreams and his powers.<br>

<br>

ARTILLERYMAN: It's doing the workin' and the thinkin' that wears a feller out. I'm<br>

ready for a bit of a rest. How about a drink eh? Nothing but champagne, now I'm the<br>

boss.<br>

<br>

JOURNALIST: We drank and then he insisted upon playing cards. With our species on<br>

the edge of extermination, with no prospect but a horrible death, we actually played<br>

games.<br>

<br>

Later, he talked more of his plan, but I saw flames flashing in the deep blue night. Red<br>

Weed glowing, tripod figures moving distantly - and I put down my champagne glass. I<br>

felt a traitor to my kind and I knew I must leave this strange dreamer.<br>

<br>

ARTILLERYMAN: Take a look around you at the world we've come to know Does it<br>

seem to be much more than a crazy circus show Maybe from the madness something<br>

beautiful will grow... <br>
