Occidentali's Karma [English translation]

To be, or to have to be;

a Hamletic doubt.

Contemporary as the Neolithic man.

You're all comfy in your 2 x 3 cage.

Intellectuals in cafés -- experts of the internet,

honorary members of 'Selfie Addicts Anonymous'.

Intelligence is old-fashioned.

There are easy answers,

but pointless dilemmas.

A - A - A - we're looking for a story with a great ending,

we're hoping for it,

but whatever happens, panta rhei ((everything flows))

and “Singing in the Rain”.

Chorus:

Lessons of Nirvana,

You'll find Buddha standing in single file,

it's a time of fun for everyone - a time of glory! (ALE!)

The crowd's shouting a mantra,

yet evolution's stumbling along;

the naked ape is dancing the Westerner's Karma.

... Westerner's Karma.

The naked ape is dancing the Westerner's Karma.

Drops of Chanel pour on to sterile bodies

Save yourself from the smell of those around you!

Everyone's a spin-doctor with the web in their pocket,

Cocaine for the masses - an opiate for the poor.

A - A- A - we're looking for a virtual humanity,

Sex appeal,

but whatever happens, "panta rhei" ((everything flows))

and “Singing in the Rain”.

Lessons of Nirvana,

You'll find Buddha standing in single file,

it's a time of fun for everyone - a time of glory! (ALE!)

The crowd's shouting a mantra,

yet evolution's stumbling along;

the naked ape is dancing the Westerner's Karma.

... Westerner's Karma.

The naked ape is dancing the Westerner's Karma.

When our life is distracted,

Men fall down,

Westerner's karma...

Westerner's karma...

The ape is rising up!

Namaste! ALE!

Lessons of Nirvana,

You'll find Buddha standing in single file,

it's a time of fun for everyone - a time of glory! (ALE!)

The crowd's shouting a mantra,

yet evolution's stumbling along;

the naked ape is dancing the Westerner's Karma.

... Westerner's Karma.

The naked ape is dancing the Westerner's Karma.
