Текст песни Children of the Future (Apollo Four Forty) с переводом

Now, the children of the future tried to come to terms

With the industrialised nations and their corporate firms

To decontaminate the planet and meet their demands

Detoxify the oceans, rivers, lakes and lands

Purify the air, get rid of nuclear waste

Put it on the a rocket ship and send it into space

Tone down, bone down, hone down, hatred!

'til love for the most highest creation is sacred

Rectify, recompense, re-evaluation;

Clarify, satisfy, the current situation

Spiritualize, realise, crystallise aspirations;

Recognise, stabilise, the unity of nations

Take all the bullshit and bury it with a shovel

Quit the lying, spying, alibi-in' daring the devil

But the parents of the future, like the ones in the past

Had an apocalyptic childhood and the die was cast

Those among their leaders were the children of the present

And some of them were devious and extremely unpleasant

Irradiated, mutated, DNA deranged

Sci-fi, sinister, slick and strange

In a megalo-manic, satanic, pseudo-scientific mode

At the pavilion of oblivion based on creed and code

The super secret, inclandestine, indiscreet elite

Saw their conquest of nature ending in defeat

They had dared to do what they shouldn’t have done

And the planet overheated from the rays of the sun

You couldn’t tell them nothing 'cos they didn’t wanna hear it

And were oppressing all the people 'til they just couldn’t bear it

And so the children of the future went underground

So deep down that they couldn’t be found

Fleeing for their lives for all it was worth

They burrowed in their capsules 'til they reached the third earth

At the depth that was equal to the stratosphere

They met the underground dwellers who lived down there

These subterraneans were evolved and were aware of the facts

And gave the children shelter then covered their backs

They were illuminated, elevated, extrasensory heightened

Transcendental, mega-mental, fully enlighten

Into teleportation, levitation, meditation, cryptographics

Clairvoyance, telekinetics, astral travel, telepathics

Comprehensive comprehension, total memory retention

In every third eye seeing subterranean state of being

Within a multiple dimension, a gravitational suspension

Then they taught all the children 'bout the secrets of life

To gain inner peace instead of stress and strife

Meanwhile the mutated, fabricated, tyrants and such

Were trying to colonise space but it was mega too much

Their computers were deluders and androgynous clones

And had the planet subdivided into no-go zones

With their doomsday scenarios all coming to pass

They were holding out, in dread and doubt until the last

While the pursuit of the children had been in vain

With everything to lose and nothing to gain

Making war on the surface time and time again

Until the end was beginning from beginning to end

But the children of the future had learnt the arts

Immunity of mind, body, spirit and hearts

They kept on evolving 'til they the reached the stage

When the children of the future finally came of age

For death had taught them what life was worth

And had prepared them for the task of leaving planet earth

Then a starship came from deep within outer space

And took the children of the future to join the cosmic race
