First day we make axes of stones Weapon of wild ones, blood flesh and bones Second day we got swords of steel Growing so stronger learning to kill Third day we became archers Spitting with death, the cold blood butchers Fourth day we've found out a powder The mighty dust to amplify our power! We shall rise again! Civilization! Look at me! Civilization! I am free! Fifth day we've invented the tanks Machine guns and mustard gas Sixth day we've built aviation To rule in the air, to sow extermination We dropped the bomb, we washed all away But next day there were stone axes again! We shall rise again! Civilization! Look at me! Civilization! I am free!
