Childhood’s End Pt 1

Today's a day of celebration
A hundred years ago today
The Overlords arrived from deep space
They took our fears away

Who knew? Slavery could be so sweet
Who knew? We'd be so happy in our defeat

They say they're here to help us through
The next stage in our evolution
So we don't destroy the universe
With our psychic pollution

Well OK! Whatever you say, demon kings
OK! For you we would do anything

But Jan would fly off in a whale
To find the truth and watch our species fail

So passes a generation
We see the children leap ahead
And fly off to join the collective
Leaving the adults for dead

And now, it seems that we're dispensable
Our lives have been so indefensible

But Jan would fly off in a whale
To find the truth and watch our species fail
