From the Sun to the World Boogie No. 1 by Electric Light Orchestra Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1973

[Verse 1]
Listen to me, sister, I got news from the governor
And he's heard people shouting from the towers in the city
While their babies grow in test tubes over night

[Verse 2]
Run and fetch the priest, 'cause there's a light on in the building
And there's sounds blowin' out in the music of the night
And we should try to get the people out alive

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
Movin' 'cross the ocean with the flag of death a-flyin'
And the demon butcher pointin' out the message on the tide
And the demon light a-sailin' by his side

[Verse 4]
Stormin' down the airwaves comes the protest and the prayin'
And the love that shone down from the sun to the world
No longer could support the life it gave
