We've taken care of everything, the words you read and the songs you
sing, the pictures that give pleasure to your eye.
It's one for all and all for one. We work together, common sons.
Never need to wonder how or why.

We are the priests of the temples of Syrinx.
Our great computers fill the hallowed halls.

All the gifts of life are held within our walls.

Lyrics:

We've taken care of everything
The words you read, the songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to your eye
It's one for all and all for one
We work together common son
Never need to wonder how or why

We are the priests, of The Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers, fill the hallowed halls
We are the priests, of The Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life, are held within our walls

Look around this world we've made
Equality our stock in trade
Come and join the Brotherhood of Man
Oh what a nice contented world
Let the banners be unfurled
Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand
