E
D
E
D
E
Set the alarm for half -past five
D
And its high -pitched hum
E
D
brought me alive again
E
D
E
Dialed the bed into the wall, resets
Gaining two more feet of space
Out of the night spell, out
of the sleep cell,
A
E
into the tunnel of day
I took the high -speed lift to Gallery 9
E
on Married Workers Line, Grade 4
Gave me rank and number to the slot
And drew me daily, what a rash,
and took the lot
Oh, what a May Day!
B
E
Oh, what a day to be young!
The thermostats, they were set for spring
D
When I rode the conveyor
E
to the female wing of law
Meant to buy the ventilation shaft
D
E
Love light shining through the
visor of a mask
E
Oh, what a day to be young!
Her hand was in mine
as we made our way
D
To the high -speed vertical
E
Shuttle Bay third class.
The daytime argon light shone
bleak and hot
When we showed our permits
to the shuttle guard.
D
A moment of fear, love,
then we were clear, love,
A
E
then we were movin' away
We lay in the capsule
and we took our ease
D
while the shuttle leveled off

As the admin wings
D

the private galleries and passed
D

The living quarters

Unfasten your seatbelts,
now we're at topside,
A
E
G
this is the eye of the world.
E
At last in the observation tower
E
in the breathless autumn dawn.
D
E
Saw the knives of sun come bronze
and gold and green.
Gilding all the face of earth
we'd never seen.
don't turn from the sunrise,
B
E
this is the face of the earth.
D
Look how the hills show rosy red,
and the shag -green scum
E
of the river bed is still.
That was once a forest,
A
G

those were trees,
E
bearing leaves of green
D
that rustled in the breeze.
What killed off the trees?
What poisoned the breezes?
A
E
What made the rivers run dry?
Look at the land
where the green grass grew.
E
the rusty hue of death.
There the sea lies
D

and the seabirds fly no more.
Who sucked the earth
dry?
Whom made the sea die?
with the world.

Cursing the ones who gave us birth,
D
we turned away from the blighted
E
but rubbed us of the air.
D
They killed the grass, the trees,
the rivers everywhere.
D
The Earth was our birthright!
