New Civilization, New Civilization
All over this land, all over this land
Small ones having smaller and smaller

All over this land, all over this land
Small ones having smaller and smaller

Come, my brother, come help me
Come, my sister, come help me
Help me sing this song, sing along, sing along
Sing along, sing along
(New Civilization, New Civilization, New Civilization)
The Africans and the Indians

Never throw stones against one another
Never throw stones against one another

New Civilization, all over this land
Oh, what a disgrace, amongst the human race
Amongst the human race
Oh, what a disgrace, amongst the human race
Amongst the human race

Sing along, sing along, sing along, sing along
