Set the alarm for half -past five
C
And its high -pitched hum
D
C
brought me alive again
D
C
D
Dialed the bed into the wall, resets
Gaining two more feet of space
C
in which to dress
Out of the night spell, out
of the sleep cell,
G
D
into the tunnel of day
I took the high -speed lift to Gallery 9
C
and stood in the mail
D
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
C
Oh, what a great day!
Oh, what a May Day!
A
D
Oh, what a day to be young!
The thermostats, they were set for spring
C
When I rode the conveyor
D
to the female wing of law
Meant to buy the ventilation shaft
C
D
Love light shining through the
visor of a mask
C
Oh, what a great day!
G
Oh, what a May day!

Her hand was in mine
as we made our way
C
To the high -speed vertical
D
Shuttle Bay third class.
The daytime argon light shone
bleak and hot
When we showed our permits
to the shuttle guard.
C
A moment of fear, love,
then we were clear, love,
G
D
then we were movin' away
We lay in the capsule

now we're at topside,
G
D

this is the eye of the world.
D
At last in the observation tower
C
we stood there silent
D
in the breathless autumn dawn.
C
D
Saw the knives of sun come bronze
and gold and green.
Gilding all the face of earth
we'd never seen.
C
Don't cover your eyes,
don't turn from the sunrise,
A
D
this is the face of the earth.
C
Look how the hills show rosy red,
and the shag -green scum
D
of the river bed is still.
That was once a forest,
G
F
C
those were trees,
D
bearing leaves of green
C
that rustled in the breeze.
What killed off the trees?
What poisoned the breezes?
G
D
What made the rivers run dry?
Look at the land
where the green grass grew.

It's dusted over with

C
we turned away from the blighted

earth below.

They gave us breath,
D
but rubbed us of the air.
C
They killed the grass, the trees,
D
the seas,
the rivers everywhere.
C
The Earth was our birthright!
