Like the towers of Babel Confusion divides us well Barriers are innate in our speech

Casting our pride on our tribe We sell those we hate easily For we can’t see our own reflection

The more we see, we open up But most of us stay the same In one place, until we depart

Language is rooted in preservation But it’s also the impolite delight of belittlement, Especially to our own brothers and sisters

How can we stand against another continent? When there’s too much pride in heritage Instead we compete for prestige

No wonder it never takes much to conquer us We respect billionaires more than our own people We leap to the knowledge of pride in us and fight Ourselves
