by Frank DudleyMonster Computations Lyrics:
Suddenly, they took away the starlight. Suddenly, they took away the sun. And they shattered the night with the blinding sight of a terrible light in a cause they thought right. Oh baby Jesus! Why didn't you speak? Why didn't you speak more clearly? And the rain came down washing away all the blood and tears. And the Earth turned brown rotting away Mama's work of years. And the Sun burned bright, Lighting up eternal night. Wearily, they struggled for survival. Drearily, they set about their task. And they grovelled around in the sterilised ground, searching for worms which refused to be found. Oh baby Jesus! Why didn't you speak? Why didn't you speak more clearly? Those who remained who were sighted, Had to believe what they saw. Total destruction and smouldering ruins Rubble on rubble and more. Those who complained tried to fight it, Lost the impossible war, Turned to construction from charred remains. Who let it happen? What for? And the drains stained brown, Flushing away all the stench and mess. And the rats ran free, Searching for scraps in the emptiness. And the Sun burned bright. Lighting up eternal night. Slovenly, is how it made a man feel. Stealthily, the vultures wings drew near. As they scratched at the fields, But the ground wouldn't yield, For the contents were sealed and would not be revealed. Oh baby Jesus! Why didn't you speak? Why didn't you speak more clearly? And the rain came down, Washing away all the blood and tears. And the Earth turned brown, Rotting away Mama's work of years, And the Sun burned bright, Lighting up eternal night... |
