Lyrics This Green And Pleasant Land - The Times

This Green And Pleasant Land

A plan for the future
Taken from the past
A brand new culture
Mass production is here at last
Make me how you want me
From the test tube to the grave
Pavlov’s dogs ensured their master’s
Success all the way
A simple solution
Words speak louder than the whip
When all is confusion
Nothing acts faster than a Soma trip
You will find no reason
To spend anytime on your own
Alpha, Beta, Gamma
Delta or Epsilon
Everyone belongs to everyone else
Everyon belongs to everyon else
Everyone belongs to everyone else
In this Green and Pleasant Land
It’s so foolproof
This blueprint for a future London
Who needs the truth
When everything could be such fun
Make me how you want me
From the test tube to the grave
Pavlov’s dogs ensured their master’s success —
Everyone belongs to everyone else
Everyone belongs to everyone else
Everyone belongs to everyone else
In this Green and Pleasant Land
In this Green and Pleasant Land
In this Green and Pleasant Land
When you dream of the right to be right
When the goodness of the state prevails
When you ask for a fair crack of the whip
That’s exactly what you will get
And they’ll tie the millions to cartwheels
And they’ll giggle and poke fun at you
They’ll take steps to rehabilitate your malfunctions
And they’ll teach you to respect your elders
And if you ever step out of line
You’ll be given the bastard hill
And if you still haven’t learned your lesson
Well then it’s a smack on the wrists for you
When you dream of the right to be right
When they ask you for a fair crack of the whip
