Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Ancient holy wars
Dead religions, holocausts
New regimes, old ideas
That's now myth, that's now real
Original sin, genetic fate
Revolutions spinning plates
It's important to stay informed
So legless freedom marches on
Oh, and no one ever really knows you, and life is brief
So I've heard but what's that gotta do with the atom bomb and me
Age-old gender roles
Infotainment capital
Golden boughs and mercury
Millennial fashion, dust-bowl chic
This documentary is lost on me
Satirical news, free energy
Mobile lifestyle, loveless sex
Independence, happiness
Oh, and no one ever knows the real you, and life is brief
So I've heard but what's that gotta do with this black hole and me
Coliseum families, the golden era of TV
Eunuch's trance, consumer slaves
A rose by any other name
Carbon footprint, incest dreams
Fuck the mother in the green
Planet cancer, sweet revenge, Isolation, online friends
Oh, and love is just an institution based on human frailty
But what's your paradise got to do with Adam and Eve?
Yeah, love is just a commodity based on resource scarcity
So I've heard but what's that got to do with you and me
