Theme

A cover of the punk band **Fear's** song. It's a sharp, satirical commentary on aggressive nationalism and isolationism. The lyrics reject international cooperation (**'We don't need no hands across the sea'**) and espouse a doctrine of militarism, suspicion, and elimination of dissent. Phrases like **'Survival is superiority'** and **'manifest destiny'** highlight a worldview based on hatred and purity.

Lyrics
**Eliminate the incompetents!** **Differences don't exist in harmony!** **Survival is superiority**. We don't need no **hands across the sea!** We've got... **Foreign policy** The **lines are drawn!** **Establish the new order!** **Suspect everyone** **Know your enemies! Know your enemies!** We've got... **Foreign policy** **Hatred is purity!** **Weakness is disease!** Every **barrio** It's **manifest destiny!** We've got... **Foreign policy**
