Western Civilization? That Would Be A Good Idea - Heideroosjes

We call ourselves real civilized 
but possession is our master 
I think we're just paralyzed 
Our greed is our disaster 

Look at your lovely furcoat 
Just eat your tasteful steak 
Let's kill another Tiger 
And call ourselves unique 

You call it civilization 
I call it rapacity 
Don't you call us descent 
'cause that's not what I see 

We dump our nuclear garbage 
In the name of our civilization 
But there is not a bit of respect 
in our great white Western Nation 

Western Civilization? That would be a good idea 

A journalist once asked the late Ghandi what he thought of the western civilization. Ghandi replied: "Western Civilization? That would be a good idea!". In other words; western people think themselves so civilized but as a matter of fact they're still barbarians, and I fully agree.
