lyrics

B52s circle high, but brown people will not comply
They hate us for our freedoms
Such as the freedom to destroy their civilization
They don’t appreciate our noblesse oblige

The logic it is tortuous, but destiny is manifest
Just define the wealth
And prosecute accordingly those who interrupt the speech
Of incorporeal capital

The logic it is torturous, the density is malignant
And powerfully so
What happens in Diego Garcia stays in Diego Garcia
When pigs are flying

Ladies and gentlemen
This has been an extrordinary rendition of empire
