Lyrics

Can't you feel it, can't you see
The promise of prosperity?
It's overwhelming you and me,
It afflicts us like a disease.

Ubiquitous, compelling too,
We cling to you like crazy glue
And inject such a potent seed,
It's best for all humanity.

The spread of culture,
The sword of progress,
The vector of suffrage,
A warm and septic breeze.

The pomp and elation,
The duty and vocation,
The blood of the hybrid,
It's just a recipe.

Reliving our ancestry,
The frightful lack of harmony,
Our forefathers who led the way,
Their victims are still here today.

Now it's time to erase the story
Of our bogus fate.
Our history as it's portrayed,
It's just a recipe for hate.

The spread of culture,
The sword of progress,
The vector of suffrage,
A warm and septic breeze.

The pomp and elation,
The duty and vocation,
The blood of the hybrid,
It's just a recipe of hate.
