The War of the Worlds movie - BRAVE NEW WORLD lyrics
rate me<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>
<br>
