(Lyrics)

2032 A.D. - a brittle world is what I see
As I look on, up from my post
Like a guardian angel or a friendly ghost

Supreme Commander in the sky,
Deciding fate as I fly by,
I see all, from coast to coast
I'm the world’s most efficient super-spy

Some are bad, some are good – I know it’s about peace, war, lying and truth at all
There’s something in my heart that told me – cause when I was young I used to hate the police
But it’s my calling, that’s my fate, I never would’ve thought I’d end up this place
But let me do my best just to keep it clear, cause the world radiation level is my fear

Cus I'm big brother’s even bigger brother - over me there simply is no other
I'm big brother’s even bigger brother - looking on - as you kill each other

2032 A.D. - a little world is what I see
In the palm of my hand, a lot's at stake
I do what I can to keep the sinners awake

Supreme Commander, I see it all
From the hoods of LA to Ilam, Nepal
Day and night, can't drop the ball
Cus if I do, the world might fall

Some are bad, some are good – I know it’s about peace, war, lying and truth at all
There’s something in my heart that told me – cause when I was young I used to hate the police
But it’s my calling, that’s my fate, I never would’ve thought I’d end up this place

But when you think a little further the world’s insane
And to wield the nuclear power takes a brain arcane

Shouts

Waz shouts:

As much as I want to like this one, I think it would actually work much better without the vocals - it doesn't add anything this time around.

monty shouts:

Stunning

chilli_uk shouts:

Awesome work - but can we have the non vocal version as well please - cos the actually tune is stunning - and you have made your best remix so far

dafunk shouts:

Actually I like the vox in this, but the tune feels a bit weak in places...

kjetiln shouts:

The style is not my cup of tea, but this sure is quality. Can't see anything wrong with it. And the Karin-samples rules.

prowler shouts:

Rapping and SID-tunes... Well... I got to agree with Waz.

knotti shouts:

Fantastic idea!

Logain shouts:

Nice!

Caboose shouts:

Some of the rapping is a bit messy in my view, but it's a good production and I like most of it.

tony.rc shouts:

Does not set the world on fire but it is still very enjoyable

LaLa shouts:

Solid production, but the arrangement is a mishmash of too many different things that don't work together well. Either drop Karin's vocal or the rap. Or both. Somehow it just doesn't gel.

infamous shouts:

WIthout the vocals = orange face, I dunno they just dont gel correct it feels very scooterish :s, the female vocal is nice though.

aero shouts:

Nice arrangement, as others have said, a bit weak sometimes. The guitar lifted the song imo

Agemixer shouts:

Nicely fit variations & speech. With not so typical choice!

omoroca shouts:

So funny! I love the Karin Öjehagen sample. The English pronunciation is not the best but I don't mind. The style reminds me a little of Eric B. & Rakim and Dr. Dre. Well done! Added to my collection.

anaconda shouts:

This really earns it's VG mark. It's nice when someone dares to make something different, and succeds.
