What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
They said it's not enough
2
Just to shoot us down
3
It's a sound that's systematized
4
It's a noise just to drown us out
5
But when your time is come
6
We'll all be there
7
Just to watch you fall
8
And then one by one
9
All the parasites will just fall off
10
You put your vote in a ballot box
11
This one's marked UNDP
12
Inscribe your
13
Tyrant's name in blood
14
Choice is the guillotine
15
We'll put our faith in Afro Pop
16
In a decolonized context
17
Espouse the aesthetes'
18
Contempt for ethos
19

"Embrace primitive man"
21
(La-la-la-la-la, you say)
22
"Destroy primitive man"
23

"With our art
25
We'll transcend again"
26

27
Then they export you in chains
28
You fought
29
For centuries for change
30
And they gave you
31
More of the same
32
They swapped the dogs
33
And the cross
34
For sublimated forestalling
35
They changed the names
36
Of the boss
37
Until you forgot who it was
38
Find your favorite color
39
So you can wash it out
40
In your hymns
41
Correcting primitive cracks
42
Into straight lines
43
Superiority is born again
44
We'll put our faith in Afro Pop
45
In a decolonized context
46
Espouse the aesthetes'
47
Contempt for ethos

But all you can say is...
