Clark Ford


Opening number for Robert, the father in the musical 1972. This is a recurring theme in the musical.

What is the world coming to?
Have you heard the news today?
More bombing in Vietnam
More taxes we'll have to pay.

What is the world coming to?
Why can't they leave us alone?
Now they are splicing genes in a tube
Next they'll be making clones!

It's a Brave New World
We have to face
There's no turning back the clock
Everything is changing, or being replaced
Doctor now is Mister Spock!

What is the world coming to?
How will it all turn out?
Overpopulation, nuclear missels
Famines, floods, and drought.

What is the world coming to?
What will be our country's fate?
President Nixon might be involved
In a crime they call Watergate.

It's a Brave New World
We have to face
There's no turning back the clock
Everything is changing, or being replaced
Doctor now is Mister Spock!

First reprise
Introduction to Marnie's character in the musical "1972", and how she differs from her dad who sang Brave New World as the opening number.

What is the world coming to?
How can we go on this way?
More bombing in Vietnam
Clear-cutting forests every day.

What is the world coming to?
What will be our country's fate?
Poverty, injustice, greediness and war
Discrimination and racial hate

It's a Brave New World We have to face
But we're programmed to repeat the past
We're taught to ignore our consciousness
It's 1984 at last!

Slow reprise
Maureen's slow reprise of Brave New World when her husband leaves in the musical "1972."

What is my world coming to?
Did you hear the news today?
My little girl has gone astray
My husband has gone away

What is my world coming to?
What will be my fate?
Should I back down and turn around
Before it's way too late?

It's a Brave new worldI have to face
But there's no turning from my way
I must be strong and yet full of grace
As I take life day by day

Third reprise
Finale song in the musical "1972" sung by the cast.

What is the world coming to?
Every day there's something new
Where do we stand? What do we believe?
What is it we should do?

What is the world coming to?
Will we find a way to cope?
Love and life have been reaffirmed
Now we have reason to hope

It's a Brave New World we have to face
There is no return to the past
We must help each other keep up with the pace
Of change we must embrace at last!
