Cross the rubicon
Burn the fire sign
Only victory is bliss
Bend a broken rule
Break the symmetry
Put all progress into remiss
Rinse out the ugly and purge every demon
A small step for progress a leap for the mind
The smoke never settles where everything is even
A poke in the eye the equation is nil
Violence for inner-peace
Bombing for therapy
Terror is everything you need
Cross the dotted line
Fake your destiny
Give a finger take a hand
Use the enmy
Turn the outside in
Tell the prophet it's the end
Money is power and power is corruption
There is nothing to gain from the absolute truth
Natural selection is based on deception
The ignorant elder empowers the youth...
Burn the fire sign
Only victory is bliss
Bend a broken rule
Break the symmetry
Put all progress into remiss
A small step for progress a leap for the mind
The smoke never settles where everything is even
Bombing for therapy
Terror is everything you need
Fake your destiny
Give a finger take a hand
Use the enmy
Turn the outside in
Tell the prophet it's the end
There is nothing to gain from the absolute truth
Natural selection is based on deception
The ignorant elder empowers the youth...

This is my favorite song by KMFDM. why? I don't know.
RUBICON IS THE POINT OF NO RETURN!
It's about terrorism. It's about terrorism, its hypocrisy, its stupidity, and how it is a generational chain, passed on from the ignorant elder to the powerless youth.
The name Rubicon is significant in that once a young terrorist is indoctrinated, there is no return, and there is no helping it - the rubicon has been crossed.
