Gamma Ray Lyrics by Birth Control

Hoodoo Man

0

[Intro]
The world is pervaded with irony
Hunger and corruption
The Eastern world and the Africans, too
Are going to repeat the history of our wars
And our industry supplies them with arms
Everybody knows, but apparently
Nobody can do anything against it
For our society is on the make

[Verse 1]
Well, sometimes, sometimes
I tried to draw up a list
I tried to find out what death had done
I thought of honorable murderers, you know
Like jobbers and mad rabble-rousers

[Pre-Chorus]
At any time, everywhere in the whole world

[Chorus]
If I were a gamma ray, a gamma, gamma
Gamma ray made of pure existence
If I were a gamma ray, a gamma, gamma
Gamma ray, mighty and unfailing
I'd radiate love, to fight misery

[Verse 2]
Without a body, I could fly round the world
Destroying arms, destroying rockets
Mix up complexions of the whole human race
We all would turn into chocolate people

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody, everywhere in the whole world

[Chorus]
If I were a gamma ray, a gamma, gamma
Gamma ray made of pure existence
If I were a gamma ray, a gamma, gamma
Gamma ray, mighty and unfailing
I'd radiate love, to fight misery

[Verse 2 Reprise]
Without a body, I could fly round the world
Destroying arms, destroying rockets
Mix up complexions of the whole human race
We all would turn into chocolate people

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody, everywhere in the whole world

[Chorus]
If I were a gamma ray, a gamma, gamma
Gamma ray made of pure existence
If I were a gamma ray, a gamma, gamma
Gamma ray, mighty and unfailing
I'd radiate love, to fight misery
