This Green And Pleasant Land - The Times

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
