Whiteworld Lyrics

I arrive in the jungle
In my new khaki clothes
Make a splash in a pontoon plane
Bought and paid for by those

Who demand a tally
Of the dark horse, the bad seed
Poking and prodding progenitors
Of respiratory disease are we

Whiteworld

I have institutions in the West
To make institutions in the East
I historically revise
With Deconstructionist ease

To name is to own
To market is to steal
I'm a gangster in a Hummer
& this culture will yield to me

Whiteworld

My policy is straight
My publisher primed
The natives will not
Resist this time

Cause I've got celebrity
I translate, I teach
I give my heart, my soul,
My brains, my body, and my
Batteries

Whiteworld

[Bridge: Sophocles]
I came on my journey
To a juncture of three roads
Two men in a chariot
Made it impossible to go

I struck the driver
For pushing me aside
The old man struck me back
So that I
Had to kill them all

Whiteworld

I can change water into wine
Solve the riddle for the Sphinx
I like the perfectly primitive
Cause they desperately need

My sovereignty
Over Third World Thebes
I'm a First World Oedipus
And Mother Earth is
Down on her knees

Whiteworld
