So this is the machine age!
   It's just a disgrace
   This is no way to be saved
   Start again from the first page
   Give me insect eyes
   Insect brain
   Give me insect sex
   I'll be happy again
   I looked at the sun
   I had to have something
  
   Suppress all personal reference
   Forget the people and the place they went
   Ignore the logical sequence
   Welcome to the land of sense
   Like the cloth from a table
   The world pulled away
   Can't see in front of my own face
   I looked at the sun
   I had to have something
  
  
   So this is the machine age!
   It's just a bloody waste
   see you on the front page
   See you in outer space
   You have to climb
   But you don't have to win
   If you have to have something
   It shows you don't need a thing
   I looked at the sun
   I walked away blinded
   But I had to have something
   More than nothing at all
  
   On my bed of nails I rest the night
   Can't make a sound to let you know I'm alright
   If there's life on earth and it still thinks
   Better head for the hills and wait for daylight
   I looked at the sun
   I had to have something
