[Verse 1]
産業革命を終えたヨーロッパ
原料と市場を求めて
アジアへとやってきた
船には大砲 積み込んで
[Pre-Chorus]
イギリスはインドを直接統治
フランスはインドシナを
オランダはインドネシアを
アジアは次々に飲み込まれた
[Chorus]
ムガル帝国 オスマン＝トルコ
清朝までもが
半植民地状態へ
世界のゲームルールが変わった
[Verse 2]
イギリスは茶を買うための銀が欲しい
インドの綿織物を壊し
インドでアヘンを作らせ
清に売り付けて銀を回収した
[Bridge]
タイはチャクリ朝の改革で
独立を保ったただ一つの国
日本も明治維新で
近代化への道を急いだ
[Outro]
帝国主義の
圧力の中で
アジアの各国は
苦悩の時代を
迎えることになる
