I'm holding up a globe:
Europe's carved it all around.
And they're playing the Great Game,
But there's no land to be found.

With no new foreign markets
Stock returns are going down
Today...
The banks are getting anxious;
Oligarchs consolidate.
I say:

That it's too late to colonize, it's too late.
I said it's too late to colonize, it's too late.

We take a loan from France, make a pact,
Build some railroads new.
But we're slaves to high finance, interest rates,
And the arms race, too.
Yeah yeah

The guns of August firing--the monarchies' doom
Hastening...
Nation versus nation, workers looking forward to
A brand new day!

It's too late to colonize, it's too late.
I said it's too late to colonize, it's too late.
Woahooo woah

It's too late to colonize, it's too late.
I said it's too late to colonize, it's too late.
I said it's too late to colonize, a yeah...
I said it's too late to colonize, a yeah...

Our revolution's hope:
Uniting workers all around...
