"Science Never Sleeps"
(Graeme English / Skyclad)

Science never sleeps
So I'm singing it a lullaby
Of wolves in sheep's clothing, devils in disguise
And lab-coats draped over big black lies

They cover their stupidity by calling it "stupology"
Rearrange your world without one word of apology
Make a man-made-soul so small it fits inside your pocket
When you die they'll shoot it up to heaven in a rocket

We've made tomorrow's world
A Nirvana for the damned
We've made tomorrow's world
Mother Earth on Fatherland
We've made tomorrow's world
We're the 'cause and the effect
We've made tomorrow's world
Could George Orwell be correct?

Science never sleeps
So I'm singing it a lullaby
Of wolves in sheep's clothing, devils in disguise
And lab-coats draped over big black lies
Science never weeps
For the life beneath the microscope
We are human amoebae that helplessly float
In a final solution suspended in hope

Let me show you something hideous
(Insidious, creeping and libidinous)
The worst laid plans of men with mice
(Wielding scalpels, laboratory sacrifice)

Great for the economy
Destroying our ecology
Unscrupulous, malicious
Yet chemically delicious

Science never sleeps
So I'm singing it a lullaby
Of wolves in sheep's clothing, devils in disguise
And lab-coats draped over big black lies
Science never weeps
For the life beneath the microscope
We are human amoebae that helplessly float
In a final solution suspended in hope

Will we shiver in dark centuries of cryogenic winter
Or be vapourized to ashes when atoms start to splinter?
A case of heads or tails, it's their coin so they can choose
Breed creatures born with two of either so they cannot lose

We've made tomorrow's world
A Nirvana for the damned
We've made tomorrow's world
Mother Earth on Fatherland
We've made tomorrow's world
We're the 'cause and the effect
We've made tomorrow's world
Could George Orwell be correct?

Science never sleeps
So I'm singing it a lullaby
Of wolves in sheep's clothing, devils in disguise
And lab-coats draped over big black lies
Science never weeps
For the life beneath the microscope
We are human amoebae that helplessly float
In a final solution suspended in hope
