Lyrics for 2112 - Live At Massey Hall, Toronto/1976

We'd like to do for you side one from our latest album This is called "2112" And the meek shall inherit the earth We've taken care of everything The words you hear, the songs you sing The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes It's one for all, 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 these walls Look around this world we 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 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 these walls I can't wait to share this new wonder The people will all see its light Let them all make their own music The priests praise my name on this night I know it's most unusual To come before you so But I've found an ancient miracle I thought that you should know Listen to my music Lord, and hear what it can do There's something here that's as strong as life I know that it will reach you Oh yes, we know it's nothing new It's just a waste of time We have no need for ancient ways Our world is doing fine Another toy that helped destroy The elder race of man Forget about your silly whim It doesn't fit the plan, no I can't believe you're saying These things just can't be true Our world could use this beauty Just to think what we might do Listen to my music And hear what it can do There's something here that's as strong as life I know that it will reach you Oh, don't annoy us further We have our work to do Just think about the average What use have they for you? Another toy that helped destroy The elder race of man Forget about your silly whim It doesn't fit the plan The sleep is still in my eyes The dream is still in my head I heave a sigh and sadly smile And lie a while in bed I wish that it might come to pass Not fade like all my dreams Just think of what my life might be In a world like I have seen I don't think I can carry on Carry on this cold and empty life No more My spirits are low in the depths of despair My lifeblood Ooh, spills over Attention, all Planets of the Solar Federation Attention, all Planets of the Solar Federation Attention, all Planets of the Solar Federation We have assumed control We have assumed control We have assumed control
