Track 2 from ALTER-NATION’s “Change The System!” multimedia CD.
A classic, eclectic rock opera album following characters through one single day of the modern human experience. Across its 33 conceptual tracks, important themes are explored which are common to every young person’s life in the U.S., in fact, the world.
Most musical tracks are preceded by an interstitial audio track driving the narrative, as heard within the present environment of the main character(s).
“Civilized?” follows the characters as they commute to work and contemplate that we call ourselves civilized yet act in such brutally tribal ways. But they then also imagine being in a better world where people are less self, greedy and evil.
