The Hippiepunk Overture
Michael:
In the city of New Albion after the civil war was won
The rebels now victorious, a golden age begun
The Voodoopunks rejoiced, it was all groovy peace and love
As they set out to build the future, a new tech boom now had come

Arcadia Corp was their flagship, the future it would bring
New science, new frontiers, experiments with stuff you won’t believe
It’s peace, love, dope, and hippies, even district tensions start to ebb
Cause everybody’s hooked on them papaver cigarettes

There’s a kid who goes by Nash and we’ll meet him in just a sec
He don’t remember nothing past a few months ago and yet
Arcadia Corp they want him, they’re looking hard for him they say
They’re putting this fresh young agent name of Amber on the case

Hey all you groovy hip-cats the revolution has been won
And the new age has come
The flower power has arrived to shower [?]
Glorious children of the golden [?]

Man we're getting into the most far-out things you've seen or dreamed
A psychedelic wonderland full of magic is made manifest right now

Whatever the next thing in evolution...
Beautiful cosmic... Arcadias......
