Oh no no no no What`s gonna happen now I fly from the ground into the sky I feel free Nobody sees me no one will cry Nobody`s running after me What do I see in the world down there I see lots of people who doesn`t care People meet and people part Someone breakes another heart In the world down there What do they need in the world down there They need something to eat a little share Someone needs to have some fun Someone somewhere starts to run In the world down there There sits a man in his chair Don`t wanna fling But he`s got to if he wants his share Here`s something he could want to sing What have I done with my life Nothing to get me higher What shall I say to my wife Tell her that I`m just tired I don`t want to go on living like this I want to do all the things I miss How can I live on like this Why can`t I do what I want Why can`t I feel any bliss I want to be what I want I don`t want to go on wasting my time On unimportant things it`s a crime It`s a crime to my family They never get no fun from me I don`t want them to run from me What do I earn every week Nothing to talk about People say that we reek They tell us not to shout I ain`t got money to buy some soap One day you will see me hang in a rope Oh no no How do they feel in the world down there I see lots of people who doesn`t care Someone loves somebody else Talkin` bout the bads and wells In the world down there Somebody knows what is right or wrong I can hear some people who sing a song A song about something they hate Singin` bout someone`s bad fate In the world down there We don`t like the governers of the world They don`t know what we need They tell us what to read So we sing this song about what is wrong We can`t stand back `cause you tell us to We don`t care about what you say Please don`t tell us what to do We know ourselves where we`ll kill today It`s a prestige thing Where`s the man who said where I`d live With the one that I love so good Tell me who`ll pass through the sieve The ones with money it`s understood It`s a prestige thing We don`t like the governers … What do you think don`t tell me now Think no thought that is of your own Nothing`s there behind your brow The leader is a god and you know It`s a prestige thing We don`t like the governers … What do they eat in the world down there I see lots of people who doesn`t care Cocktail party with dinner meal No one cares whose food is real In the world down there Sunday morning everyone sleeps Someone`s yawning tries to awake Get up early falling too deep Kiss your Shirley life is a fake Stand up crying no one is there Someone`s dying living too long Know what must be she is aware Life is dusty sing out a song Who do they love in the world down there They say it`s someone about whom they care Someone`s money is more for me They love themselves that`s what I see In the world down there The leader said to him go out Go out and kill two million people He went out into the world and killed the people The war came to an end and then About a year or so from killing time They sentenced him to death Because he`s on the losing side Did they realize he just obeyed an order he was told The leader told a man to go Go out and kill two million people He said he`d never do that He`d never kill a man The leader was upset and said No doubt you won`t kill any people They sentenced him to death Becuse he said he never would Did they realize his principals was not to kill anyone Stood up and tried to walk Found a book about a hawk Had a laugh and tried to realize If I was a fool or nice The hand that I just shook Didn`t look into my book Told a friend about a bloke I`d seen Then I sat down and saved the Queen The leader tell us what to do We do it without asking why we do He doesn`t care about our names A number`s all he`ll need And still nobody ever saw the people that we feed The people we should be

Saw a nightfall where no one had to lose the game And the people walked on home It is a shame In the night where we lose a friend When there comes the end And we pass away Read a paper about the world that teas us all And the people who got nothing began to fall In a car with her loving mind Someone tried to find A way to be free When the farmer`s wife came to the shop And nobody was there Her previous life came to a stop She started to care About people who has no one to care about And her husband was wild about it there`s no doubt And they love everyone they see They love you and me and all of our friends When the night is coming to an end And nothing`s like it seemed And people know not who to send They`ll come into this dream I don`t know where to start How can I explain what is happening now Take the world of art Where the sun is a cow And the moon is your car They`re taking you far away And music`s getting strange Will you realize what I`m trying to say I can disarrange your feelings today The sun is getting dark Don`t you know that I know what you`re gonna do Walk into the park where the trees talk to you And they say you`re a fool They`re treating you cruel today Are you ready to cry They won`t satisfy you more There is my door Twelve people had a ball on a Saturday night The hostess was too small to turn out the light I want a whiskey but I want it dry Said Mr Gordon Someone had drugs and they got high Aaa I don`t know what to do `cos I`m feeling so sad Come baby I love you I`ll make you feel glad They went into the moonshine and he said Baby come now we`ll get to bed Aaa She said no no Get your dirty hands off me I don`t want you can`t you see He strangled her to death and took her away (took her away) But what would he say Aaa Twelve people had a ball on a Saturday night But somebody is dead now is it all right So drink up your whiskey and have your drugs You`ll realize it`s your own grave you`ve dug Aaa So now have your fun I won`t make you cry I`ll be walking by Tears come in my eye Because you don`t care if the world is wrong Just as long as you are all right

about

Opus X was written mostly in 1974. As a fifty years anniversary the suite is now released in 2024. Parts one and two are both just short of twenty minutes long, designed at the time to fit on an LP. Preceded by an instrumental Prelude for church organ and rock band this is a totally different approach than most contemporary music!
