The cosmonauts were first in space To look for God and find no trace With a k**er cloud or reason for rhyme The devil enlightens the children of time The children of time The children of time When boys and girls love what they feel They "lick the earth" and swear it's real With a silver syringe before bells chime The devil entices the children of time The children of time With a fast injection For the children Beware proud creatures of the night Who close eternal windows tight With a triple cheer at the scene of the crime The devil endorses the children of time The children of time The children of time The devil enlightens the children of time The devil entices the children of time The devil endorses the children of time Father have merciful eyes for the children The children of time The children of time The children of time The children of time The children of time The children of time
