Civilization Sucks

White men brought the gun
Threatened to shoot everyone
Then brought the whiskey for them all to drink
Then gave them a book
And that's al it took
For suddenly all of their souls to be saved

Civilization sucks
Civilization sucks
Civilization sucks
Civilization

Welcome to your life
In this plastic paradise
It weakens our bodies
It weakens our minds
Politicians unwilling
To confess that our children
Might have to struggle so hard
Just to survive

Civilization sucks
Civilization sucks
Civilization sucks
Civilization

Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome
To the laboratories
Le monde entire est dans une grande revolution
Chi mi que
Gute besserung von der großen freundlichen Klinik
Die so aussieht wie dein Hi-Fi Turm
Join the Pepsi-Generation
On a no-nuke demonstration

Civilization sucks
Civilization sucks
Civilization sucks

And bites the breast
That feeds it
