Brave new world

Take a look around you at the world we've come to know,
Does it seem to be much more than a crazy circus show?
But maybe from the madness something beautiful will grow,
In a brave new world,
With just a handful of men.
We'll start, we'll start all over again,
All over again,
All over again,
All over again,
All over again.
(Dialogue)
Now our domination of the Earth is fading fast,
And out of the confusion the chance has come at last,
To build a better future from the ashes of the past,
In a brave new world,
With just a handful of men,
We'll start all over again.
Look, man is born in freedom but he soon becomes a slave,
In cages of convention from the cradle to the grave,
The weak fall by the wayside but the strong will be saved,
In a brave new world,
With just a handful of men,
We'll start all over again.
I'm not trying to tell you what to be,
Oh no, oh no not me,
But if mankind is to survive,
The people left alive,
They're gonna have to build this world anew,
And it's gonna have to start with me and you,
Yes!
I'm not tryinhg to tell you what to be,
Oh no, oh no, not me,
But if mankind is to survive,
The people left alive,
They're gonna have to build this world anew,
Yes and we will have to be the chosen few.
Just think of all the poverty, the hatred and the lies,
And imagine the destruction of all that you despise,
Slowly from the ashes, the phoenix will rise,
In a brave new world,
With just a handful of men,
We'll start all over again.
Take a look around you at the world you've loved so well,
And bid the ageing empire of Man a last farewell,
It may not sound like Heaven, but at least it isn't Hell,
It's a brave new world,
With just a handful of men,
We'll start,
We'll start all over again,
All over again,
All over again,
All over again,
All over again.
