Verse 1
(A major) Overwhelming,
overwhelming (C major) (A minor) (C major)
But humanity,
(A major) (A minor) in its desire (C major) for comfort,
(G major) had (A minor) overreached itself.
(C major) It had exploited (D major) (A minor) the riches
of nature (C major) too far.
(G major) Quietly (A minor) and complacently, (C major)
it was sink (G major) ing in (A major) to decadence,
(A minor) And (C major) progress had come
(G major) to (A minor) mean
the progress of (C major) the machine.
And progress (A minor) had come
to mean
(C major) the progress of the machine.
(E minor) (A minor) And progress had (C major) come
to mean
the progress (G major) of (A minor) the machine.
(C major) So, (G major) in (A minor) the end,
above ground (C major) you must have the haves, (A minor)
Pursuing pleasure in (C major) comfort and (G major) beauty,
(A minor) And below (C major) ground the have -nots,
the (A minor) workers getting (C major) continually
adapted to (G major) the con (A minor) ditions of (C major) their labor.
Once they were there, (A minor)
they would no (C major) doubt have to pay rent, (G major)
(C major) and not (A minor) a little of (C major) it,
for the ventilation (G major) of (A minor) their caverns,
(C major) and if they (E minor) re fused, (D major) (A minor)
they would startle (C major) be
suffocated (D major) for (E minor) years.
(A minor) Such of (C major) them as were so (D major) con (G major) stituted
(D major) as (A minor) to be (D major) miser (C major) able and
rebelli (D major) ous would die, (A minor)
and, in the end,
(C major) (D major) the balance be (A minor) ing permanent,
the (C major) survivors would (G major) become as (A minor) well adapted
to the (C major) conditions of underground (G major) life, (A minor)
and as happy (C major) in their way
as (D major) (A major) the up (A minor) per world people
were (C major) to theirs.
and (E minor) as (A major) happy (A minor) in their way
as (C major) (G major) (A minor) (C major) (E minor) (A minor) (C major) (D major) (A major) (A minor) (C major)
(E minor) the upper world people (D major) (A minor) were to theirs. (C major) (D minor)
(A major) An (A minor) im (C major) personal gen (A minor) eration
(A major) will take the (A minor) place of
nature's (C major) heaviest system
In (A major) vast (A minor) state incubator (C major) s,
rows (E minor) upon (A minor) rows of gravity bottles
(C major) will supply the world
with (A minor) the population (C major) it requires.
(G major) The (A minor) family system will (C major) disappear,
(D minor) society, (A minor) sad at its (C major) very base,
will have (A minor) to find new (C major) foundations.
An (D minor) d Eros, (D major) beautifully (A major) an
(A minor) d irresponsibly free, (F sharp major)
Will (F sharp minor) flit (A major) like a happy butterfly (D major)
from flower (G major) to flower through a (A major) sunlit world.
