New Eden
While sandcastle civilisations wait for the rushing tide
Welcome to New Eden where we’ll keep you satisfied
We can shape your imperfect body and soothe your troubled mind
Sanitise your lifestyle and make your stress unwind
You are the chosen one
Welcome to New Eden
The fun has begun
You’re a chosen stakeholder in our glittering merchandise
Buy your way to freedom where ‘don’t think’ will suffice
Never ask the questions except to scheme for more
Satisfy your hungers in New Eden’s superstore
You are the chosen one
Welcome to New Eden
The fun has begun
Never count the costs when your credit is on tap
Earn and spend forever with a knick-knack in every gap
If you want to see a tree we’ve plenty in the museum
The entrance fee is very small and you don’t queue long to see them
You are the chosen one
Welcome to New Eden
The fun has begun
Last season’s fashion? Just throw it in the bin
Make space for the new styles screaming to get in
Nothings built to last in this throwaway society
Don’t glance sideways through the windscreen while you’re so hale and hearty
You are the chosen one
Welcome to New Eden
The fun has begun
I hope that you like concrete, tarmac and glass
We can get you anywhere, comfortable, safe and fast
Get it down you, bring it up, you know it does you good
You never have to question who directs the neighbourhood
You are the chosen one
Welcome to New Eden
The fun has begun
The fun has just begun

Aaah – the future beckons. We will all be consumer units in the concrete and glass enclave, our every need catered for, our every thought directed – something for every whim and every whim induced.
We shall be happy and satisfied as we sip our medicine and go where directed to sample what is provided for our delectation.
Our world will be fully sanitised and safe. All will be provided. We won’t even have to think.
