'And Bombard Gallente Prime'

So, I mentioned in another thread that I still sing this song sometimes, as it does have a catchy tune (and very fun lyrics). I first learned it as a young girl of fourteen at the CNM Academy for Girls. Through the years, I've forgotten some verses, but I hope that some of the other Caldari here can help me out.
(Yes, I know a galnet search is faster. It's not as fun. Nor does it have all of the bajillion verses people have created over the years.)

The refrain I remember. How could I not?


Glory, Glory to our Caldari State
Glory, Glory to our Caldari State
Glory, Glory to our Caldari State
And bombard Gallente Prime


And here are the verses I remember.


Remember Tovil-Toba and the patriots that died
Honor the Caldari who have served and fought with pride
Remember every sacrifice to be repaid ten fold
And bombard Gallente Prime.


Our planet has been lost to us, we’ve scattered to the night
And if it takes a thousand years, we won’t give up the fight
One day we’ll return again to our ancestral home
And bombard Gallente Prime!

Tasteless, at best. Crass, at worst.

War is murder. It always has been, always will be. Murder in the name of God. Freedom. Your country. Whatever it is, it is murder. I am already against the next set of wars.

Full points for catchiness.

A Minmatar warship is like a rusting Beetle with 500 horsepower Cardillac engines in the rear, armour plating bolted to chassis and a M2 Browning stuck on top.

Tasteless and inappropriate.

This is hilarious! :D

And suddenly Kimmy has a new favorite song... Well, you would need to insert mention of Heth, but still...

How can you not see that attitudes like this only prolong conflict? We'll have no peace while this song is so gleefully sung.

This was composed well before Heth came to power. I am sure someone has written a verse or two about him, though.

Oh, I remember we were yelling this back in SWA before the war started and even before I became a capsuleer. It was just a cheerful silly and naughty song for us. It was catchy indeed!

Now though I don't consider it much silly anymore. So calling "Bombarding Gallente Prime" is a scream for justice. It is a reminder for our generation, and for gallentes as well, that they have committed an atrocity by bombarding of Caldari Prime and didn't pay for this. Of course now bombarding Gallente Prime would be meaningless, since those, who bombarded Caldari Prime are long dead, and we can't enact justice on them anymore.

Yet such possibility of "historical justice" shall always be brought to any gallente, who would dare to say a word about fairness.

For now though we shall concentrate on other war crimes that Gallente has committed in our lifetime, for what they did in these eight years and magnitude of their numerous crimes clearly overshadows all their atrocities of the past.

Honored are the dead, for their legacy guides us.

We'll have no peace while it's profitable for all parties, from individual miners to the largest State and Alliance actors, to continue the war. Let's not go deluding ourselves.

And so on.

Good memories. Made the kilometers just melt away!

And the point of the OP was what, exactly? Vea are you trying to earn the title of the next Diana Kim specifically or do you just enjoy trolling in general?

An offering from my mis-spent youth. It may have inspired some of my activities in Anoikis (where I acquired my first Prowler!)

The Caldari have their money
and their ships all look so sharp.
They fire missile swarms at the pirate hordes
and blow Guristas' hulls apart

Gallente ships are sexy
yeah I love those curves they trace
and Amarr cruisers with their golden plates
just look so good when they're in space..

I wish they all could be in Matari
wish they all could be in Matari
I wish they all could be in Matari hands...

The Vheriokhor find the best toys
and the Thukkers move 'em round
Slap on some artycannons for that Brutor boom
and let the Sebbies go to town

I've flown in all the Empires
and I've stole all kinds of ships
but it was all such a bore til I got back to Pator
for those drag races down the strip

I wish they all could be in Matari
wish they all could be in Matari
I wish they all could be in Matari hands.

Oh, I haven't heard this one in years. Never was very popular my part of the State (hell, I think it was banned in Logistics after An Incident), although occasionally I'd hear the odd Watchman humming the tune in a dorm hall somewhere through the wee hours of the night.
