Anti-Flag - What Do You Think About Western Civilization lyrics

Wave goodbye to yourself
And wave goodbye to your friends
This is the end of the world

What do you think about Western Civilization?
I fear Ghandi said it best
"It would be a good idea"

Highly advanced in technology
Not so much evolutionarily
Shotguns replace the games which we came from
Machine guns are the new sticks and stones

Peaceful conflict resolution
Save it for another day, love
Today we all die until no one is left
Or until the Calendar reads
Wave goodbye to your friends
This is the end of the world

I think that I would like to


Be buried on a beautiful hilltop
With a view of green valley

To breathe in the view of the glorious day
To spy fallen stars as
They criss-cross the sky
The moonlight revealing the peace
That alludes us
All of our years on this earth
And the one thing I've been searching for
Yeah, the one thing I've been fighting for
Peaceful conflict resolution
Save it for another day, love
Today we all die until no one is left
Or until the Calendar reads
Wave goodbye to yourself
This is the end of the world

And I can list them like a
Cliche in a 60s folk song
Bring me your sick and your poor
And your huddled masses yearning, yeah

But today instead of handing out invitations
Maybe liberty drops holy things
On other nations
Capitalist hogs feeding from the trough
When the pig get too fat
Then the pig's time is up

Peaceful conflict resolution
Save it for another day, love
Today we all die until no one is left
Or until the Calendar reads
Wave goodbye to friends
This is the end of the world
