Oh, you pretty things, don’t you know
You’re driving your mamas and papas insane?
All the strangers came today
Homo sapiens have outgrown their use
Where the books were found by the golden ones
Oh, you pretty things, don’t you know
Don’t kid yourself they belong to you
Oh, you pretty things, don’t you know
And it looks as though they’re here to stay
You’re driving your mamas and papas insane?
You’re driving your mamas and papas insane?
Let me say it again
Let me say it again
Their faces in golden rays
All the nightmares came today
You gotta make way for the homo superior
Oh, you pretty things, don’t you know
Written in pain, written in awe
Oh, you pretty things, don’t you know
I think about a world to come
By the puzzled man who questioned
Let me make it plain
You gotta make way for the homo superior
I need some breakfast and coffee
A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me
Let me say it again
Oh, you pretty things, don’t you know
Wake up you sleepy heads
You’re driving your mamas and papas insane?
You’re driving your mamas and papas insane?
Put another log on the fire for me
All the strangers came today
Look at your children
Put on some clothes, shake up your beds
You’re driving your mamas and papas insane?
There’s no room for me, no fun for you
Oh, you pretty things, don’t you know
The earth is a beast, we’ve finished our news
They’re the start of the coming race
What are we coming to?
I look out my window and what do I see?
And it looks as though they’re here to stay
You’re driving your mamas and papas insane?
You gotta make way for the homo superior
What we were here for
And it looks as though they’re here to stay
