Story behind the song
I invented this song as a laugh and it wound up on the Austrian station "Radio Orange". The performance of this song was the final scene in the musical play, "Bukaka Moves NoborderZone." (http://no-racism.net/noborderzone/)
Lyrics
Empire is materializing before our very eyes.
As colonial regimes were overthrown
Soviet barriers to the capitalist world market finally collapsed.
With the global market and global circuits of production has emerged a global order.
Money, technology, people, and goods
cross national boundaries with increasing ease, a decentered, deterritorializing apparatus of rule
that absorbs the world within its open, expanding frontiers,
producing social life. Itself, economic, political, and cultural
overlap and invest one another, rule directly over human nature: biopower.
Though the practice of Empire is continually bathed in blood,
Empire's concept has always been dedicated to Peace:
a perpetual, universal Peace outside of history.
