All that you can see
beneath the sun
what is made by humans
now must be undone
landscape of confusion
leaving one and all
vying against the other
welcome to our fall
(this section sung in very old javanese poetic style, not many lyrics, but what few are saying essentially says not respect for nature, not to turn our backs on our origins, or there will be consequences)
Capos of financial scams
discount offer flat-rate plan
stuck again in traffic jams
with double meaning i say damn
damn Lapindo* damn the oil
damn the gas that's burned the soil
water, air, and land are damned
now behold the works of man
allah o akbar what they say
from loudspeakers every day
i get down on knees to pray
or the sons of god might go away
(verse in bahasa)
rapping politics is uncool
but just a sec it's almost through
it's downer than the oldest school
cheap boombox more broke than rules
Gamelan and on and on
while complaining about what's wrong
the time has passed & now it's gone
it's about time to end this song
All that you can see
beneath the sun
what is made by humans
now must be undone
landscape of confusion
leaving one and all
vying against the other
welcome to our fall
