Lyrics Peculate - The End of History, Pt. I

Empire and peace cannot coexist.
Choose one.

We choose empire.
We choose empire over peace.

Peace is overrated anyway.
It’s very difficult to profit off of peace.
Peace is a lousy investment.

We live in a world with a new kind of peace,
the only kind that matters:
peace for markets,
peace for the chain industry,
peace for our corporate masters.

Welcome to the end of history.
A time of universal peace
and freedom.

Peace is a lousy investment.

If everyone’s healthy and merry,
and they all have that they need,
where’s the room for us
monetary mercenaries?
Where’s the room for greed?

Peace is an ideological term.
Peace is subjective.
And seeing as we own the
books and the press,
we redefine peace
to serve our imperial objectives.

We’re tired of your utopian visions.
The rich need their slaves.
And we know how to keep those slaves appeased,
with illusions of freedom and peace.
We’ve already built our own utopia,
on the broken backs of countless wasted workers.
It’s name: bourgeois capitalist “democracy.”

And in it,
war is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
God is the chain industry.
