I got up this morning and I looked around
I said to myself, "What have I found?"
I got a funny feeling that there's something wrong
Went to the kitchen to find the food was gone
Went to the bedroom and put on my clothes
Walked into the street to find the shops were closed
There were no trams a'runnin'
And the petrol was all gone
People in a panic all hysterical and cryin'
So we all yelled out
Forgive us, please save us from ourselves
And please turn it on
Wе'll never do the samе again
No radios were going and the TV had just stopped
By now a million housewives were so bored their minds popped
No milk could be delivered and there was none on the breast
So even little children had to suffer with the rest
So we all yelled out
Forgive us, please save us from ourselves
And please turn it on
We'll never do the same again
The gas stove wasn't working, there just wasn't any heat
I felt like an Eskimo from my head down to my feet
I got a little angry as the day turned into night
Wondering what the cavemen did before electric light
The churches were all crowded, but nobody seemed to know
Governments were fighting just like they normally do
Not a pub was open, how'd we get into this state?
What's the use of living if you can't find an escape?
So we all yelled out
Forgive us, please save us from ourselves
And please turn it on
We'll never do the same again
Please turn it on, we'll never do the same again
Please turn it on, we'll never do the same again
Please turn it on, please turn it on, we'll never do the same again
Please turn it on, we'll never do the same again
Please turn it on, now people
We'll never, we'll never never never do the same again
Please turn it on, we'll never do the same again, no
