----------------------------------

 

Say to me no more Apollo,

Say to me the job is done.

And I say your words are hollow

And our work has just begun.

 

Say to me we need the money

Just to feed the poor,

And I say, 'Gee that's funny,

It's for them that we explore.'

 

Say to me we should be fighting,

Say to me the world's at war.

And I say we are uniting

People tired of war and more.

 

Say to me there's too much danger

Say we could be lost.

And I say I am no stranger

to danger, that's the cost.

 

Say to me our world is dying,

Ready for it's last hurrah.

And I cry, keep on trying,

We must find our Shangri-la.

 

Say to me no more Apollo,

Say to me the job is done.

And I say your words are hollow

And our work has just begun.

 

And our work has just begun.
