But China is doing it with a speed and destructiveness that is absolutely unprecedented. I've never seen anything like it anywhere in the past, not on this scale.

It's ugly now and it was ugly in Dutch East India, British East India, French Indo China not to mention the U.S.'s Spanish-American War conquests and the banana republics. NONE of today's economic powerhouses would be where they are now without past pillaging of natural resources and exploitation of little brown people. Aren't we proud of ourselves? China's just following the roadmap we laid out for them. Don't get me started. So you are witnesses to 21st century imperialism.

Metal Monsters are near
Corporate giants they fear
Rain filled forests mowed down
Local rivers run brown
Local rivers run brown

Gentle natives wonder aimlessly-
through city streets not fit for you or me

All in the name of “civilization”
Which has screwed up this whole damn nation

AND HERE
Strip malls are rebuilt
Lumber wasted with no guilt
Gentle children wonder aimlessly
Through city streets not fit for you or me
Corporate giants (scale down)
No new jobs to be found
So
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
