Andrew W.K. Tv Series (Opening Narration) Lyrics

TV Series Opening Narration
It is the year 0079 (double ‘O’ seventy-nine) of the universal century.
A half century has passed since earth began moving
it’s burgeoning population into gigantic orbiting space colonies.
A new home for mankind, where people are born and raised, and die…
Nine months ago, the cluster of colonies farthest from the earth
called Side 3 proclaimed itself the Principality of Zeon, and launched a war of independence against the Earth Federation.
Initial fighting lasted over one month
and saw both sides lose half their respective populations.
People are horrified by the indescribable atrocities
that had been committed in the name of independence.
Eight months are passed since the rebellion began.
They are at a stalemate.
