Lyrics
We're gonna build a whole new world for ourselves. Look, they
clap eyes on us and we're dead, right?
So we gotta make a new life where they'll never find us. You know where?
Underground.
You should see it down there - hundreds of miles of drains - sweet and clean now after
the rain, dark, quiet, safe. We can build houses and everything, start again from scratch.
And what's so bad about living underground eh? It's not been so great living up here, if
you want my opinion.
Take a look around you at the world we've come to know
Does it seem to be much more than a crazy circus show
But maybe from the madness something beautiful will grow
In a brave new world
With just a handful of men
We'll start - we'll start all over again - all over again - all over again - all over again
We'll build shops and hospitals and barracks right under their noses - right under their
feet!
Everything we need - banks, prisons and schools... We'll send scouting parties to
collect books and stuff, and men like you'll teach the kids. Not poems and rubbish -
science, so we can get everything working. We'll build villages and towns and... and...
we'll play each other at cricket! Listen, maybe one day we'll capture a Fighting Machine, eh? Learn how to make 'em ourselves and then wallop! Our turn to do some wiping out! Whoosh with our Heat Ray - Whoosh! And them running and dying, beaten at their own game. Man on top again!
Now our domination of the Earth is fading fast
And out of the confusion the chance has come at last
To build a better future from the ashes of the past
In a brave new world
With just a handful of men
We'll start all over again
Look - Man is born in freedom but he soon becomes a slave
In cages of convention from the cradle to the grave
The weak fall by the wayside but the strong will be saved
In a brave new world
With just a handful of men
We'll start all over again
I'm not trying to tell you what to be
Oh no, oh no, not me
But if mankind is to survive
The people left alive
They're gonna have to build this world anew
And it's going to have to start with me and you
Yes!
I'm not trying to tell you what to be
Oh no, oh no, not me
But if mankind is to survive
The people left alive
They're gonna have to build this world anew
Yes and we will have to be the chosen few
Just think of all the poverty, the hatred and the lies
And imagine the destruction of all that you despise
Slowly from the ashes the phoenix will arise
In a brave new world
With just a handful of men
We'll start all over again

I've honestly seen this song as the closest thing to a villain song in the musical. The villain not being The Artilleryman, but rather the madness thats beginning to overcome in light of the Martian invasion. Like its just tempting you to disassociate from the horrifying reality and enter this realm of naivety and senseless optimism. There's something almost something sinister in the way he says "I'm not trying to tell you what to be Oh no, oh no, not me But if mankind is to survive The people left alive-" its like an invitation into that world of comforting fantasy and away from the terror of the heat ray, the red weed, and the black smoke.

@Robb1977 8 ай бұрын

honestly its the best "plan" out there, which is maybe why its so compelling. Live underground where the martians cant build their machines, where the range of the heatrays could be reduced by curving tunnels. where they wont see any activity on the surface. and then in a centuries time, maybe the technological gap would have closed. besides, a city like london has miles of tunnels in the underground and utility. of course, the madness angle is that humanity is able to put aside its differences and create a mirror world... but who hasnt started a new civilization with optimism of human spirit? the only thing that really sells this as insanity is that the man just isnt putting in the effort. hes chipping away at dirt in his spare time, while mostly just getting drunk or playing cards. the right people could probably do it right, the artilleryman isnt that guy.

In the game, if you play as the martians and win, during the credits, 36 year after the humans have been defeated, one scout is hunting some "uncontained" humans, after vaporizing some of them, it follows the rest of them into a orange-lit tunnel were it describes a place like the one in the video, bigger than he can see, he asks itself "HOW did they miss this much?" And abruptly ends his transmission log with the martian-chilling phrase "Oh my, they've seen to have re-armed themselves" followed by an explosion. So, not only did the artillery man manage to go ahead with his delirious idea, HE WON.

Nathaniel is batshit from the first moment we meet him but the artilleryman is just a conscript driven mad by loneliness. He’s the only hint in the story that the survivors might have as much to fear from each other as the invaders.

Bought the concept album when it first came out! Treated myself to the 25th anniversary double cd, definitely shows my age! Recently watched the stage show on sky arts with Marti Pello. Wasn't sure if it was something which would transfer to stage, but the way they did it made you suspend disbelief. Sci- fi on stage! Well done it was a brilliant performance. The war machines towering over you!

When I was 6 years old, me and my family went to Butlins and we listen to this Musical the whole way and I fell in love it from beginning to End. My Dad listened to it in the 70s and he's the one who got me into it and when the musical returned in the modern era me and my dad went to see. Hands down the greatest Musical ever created and the greatest adaptation of The War of the Worlds. This is my favorite of the songs, just pure brilliance.

I was 5 years old when I first heard this entire cd original not the remastered version and I remember feeling the same feeling I get today as I did then both excitement and happiness with glimpses of hope and passion in his commitments and I thought to my self what an absolutely wonderful composure of musical melodies and words and since then I will never forget that moment in the kitchen with mom and dad and my family. That's why this album is my all time favourite and will always be from the Red weed to the passion in thunder child. If you haven't listened to the entire album please do as I guarantee you will fall in love with it just like me in that moment.

I've always been fond of the opening to this because it provides a subtle nod towards how delusional the artilleryman before the song even starts; he has this grand fantastical vision for rebuilding humanity yet apparently he's also in the process of chasing anyone and everyone away from "his territory".

SomeGuyOnDaNet Cock and ball torture (CBT), penis torture or dick torture is a sexual activity involving application of pain or constriction to the penis or testicles. This may involve directly painful activities, such as genital piercing, wax play, genital spanking, squeezing, ball-busting, genital flogging, urethral play, tickle torture, erotic electrostimulation, kneeing or kicking. The recipient of such activities may receive direct physical pleasure via masochism, or emotional pleasure through erotic humiliation, or knowledge that the play is pleasing to a sadistic dominant. Many of these practices carry significant health risks.
