Oh what a nice, contented world, Let the banners be unfurled, Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand!



When I First Heard (The Below) Album, I Hadn't Then Or Ever Since Been So Excited To Buy Music.
I Heard It On An American High School School Bus, I Ran To The Record Store (which also included taking a German Bus), Bought It And Have Loved It Ever Since. 

This Is Probably My Favorite Album. And What Is It About? 

The Dangers Of Totalitarian Communism.



[I. Overture]

And the meek shall inherit the earth

[II. Temples of Syrinx]

We've taken care of everything
The words you read, the songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to your eye
It's one for all, and all for one
We work together, common son
Never need to wonder how or why

We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers fill the hallowed halls
We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life are held within our walls

Look around at this world we've made
Equality our stock in trade
Come and join the Brotherhood of Man
Oh what a nice, contented world
Let the banners be unfurled
Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand
