lyrics
colonizer, colonized
lay low, remember where you come from, stand quiet, fall in line, stand silent in the clearing, stand silent among the clear-cuts,
sign all of the paperwork, sign on the dotted line, reach forth to new dimensions, graze forth and multiply, ever faster to the eschaton, i am colonizer, and i am colonized.
i'm colonizer and i am colonized.
give up all of your places, sever all family ties, go forth, you are alone now, go forth, fly away.
give up your language, give up your culture, give up your language, give up your culture.
history gets (sh) tamed, banal and mundane, the choir sings: 'we are not to blame, we just profit off all the pain, we are colonizer and we are colonized, we are colonizer cause we are colonized'
and: 'oh my child you are another civilization'
we moved the lake, we moved the water, we moved the lake, we moved the water, pumped it in to all the houses, pumped it in and now it serves us,
we moved the lake, we moved the water, we moved the lake, we moved the water, pumped it in to all the houses, built upon the shattered cultures,
but oh my child, you are another civilization, oh my child, another spin around the propellor,
oh my child, you are another civilization, well oh my child, another spin around the propellor,
