[Verse 1]
Rise up, blinking in the sun
Wrapped in invisible wire

[Chorus 1]
My oh my
What a wonderful day we're having, we're having
Why oh why

[Verse 2]
I see the green grass below
I feel the warmth of the screen
Is it beautiful (maybe not, maybe not)

[Chorus 2]
My oh my
What a wonderful day we're having, we're having
Why oh why
Are we looking for a way outside it, outside it?
How long O Lord can you keep the whole world spinning under our thumbs?
Spinning under our thumbs?
Spinning under our thumbs?
[Chorus 2]
My oh my
What a wonderful day we're having, we're having
Why oh why
Are we looking for a way outside it, outside it?
How long O Lord can you keep the whole world spinning under our thumbs?
Spinning under our thumbs?
Spinning under our thumbs?
