Clash of Civilizations

from Sarah's Short Collection (EP) by Horse

/

lyrics

It had belatedly begun to dawn on people
That industrial civilization is coming to an end
It is unraveling, already evident
Brings with it the threat of more, not fewer, wars

Because massive changes in society cannot occur without conflict
We believe the metaphor of history as waves of change
Is more dynamic and revealing
Than talk about a transition to post-modernism

Waves are dynamic, when waves crash in on one another
Powerful cross-currents are unleashed
When waves of history collide, whole civilizations clash
And that sheds light on much that otherwise seems senseless
Or random, in today's world

In fact, once we grasp the wave theory of conflict
It becomes apparent that the biggest shift in power
Now beginning on the planet is not between East and West
Or North and South
Nor is it between different religious and ethnic groups
The deepest economic and strategic change of all is
The coming division of the world into three
Distinct
Differing
And potentially clashing
Civilizations


-- From "The Third Wave" by Alvin Toffler
