lyrics

While you were swimming in the ocean,
I was shakin' in a cage.
Modern African art collector:
please put the mask away.

When you arrived you were gigantic,
and you were smelling of the sea.
Far off the coast of the Atlantic
you were born to never bleed.

From 1945 to 1994,
you kept us all alive;
you brought us into war.

From 1995 to 2024,
you kept us all alive;
we felt alive before.

Do you remember our history?
Just how cold it was?
Didn't you know the value of mystery
was greater than gold to us?

From 1945 to 1994,
you kept us all alive;
we felt alive before.

And if you happen to survive it all,
it's just to be victim to the class war.
I never thought I knew what you were doing to me,
but now I think I'm sure.

From 1995 to 2024,
you kept us all alive;
you brought us into war.

From 2025 to 2094,
you kept us all alive;
we felt alive before.
