My mother the cow who still feeds me now is being tortured
Her son the bull who the fields should plough is being slaughtered
The human child in the womb who is never born for being unwanted
Melancholy in the Age of Kali
Melancholy in the Age of Kali
Kali Kali
My mother, the earth, man treats like dirt, her resources being exhausted
Ant-like astronauts, of the human race, scratch and scar the moon's beautiful face
My brother, the sun, he still shines on
He'll continue to shine for some time to come
Melancholy in the Age of Kali
Melancholy in the Age of Kali
Kali Kali
Lamentation Lamentation Lamentation [repeat]
Heavenly Father still waters the grains
Seems like tears fall as it rains
Little boy blue come blow on your horn
The sheeps in the meadow the cows in the corn
Oh sweet friend of mine from an ancient nursery rhyme
From a distant land once upon a time
Melancholy in the Age of Kali
Melancholy in the Age of Kali
Kali Kali

X-Ray Spex sono stati un gruppo musicale britannico attivo tra la fine degli anni '70 e l'inizio degli anni '80. Considerati uno dei pilastri del movimento punk rock, hanno raggiunto una certa notorietà grazie al loro stile musicale caratterizzato da ritmi veloci, testi provocatori e l'influenza della musica ska. La band era guidata dalla carismatica Poly Styrene, cantante e frontwoman di origine nigeriana-britannica, la cui voce potente e i suoi testi spesso ironici e satirici hanno contribuito a definire l'immagine del gruppo. Il loro album di debutto, *Germ Free Adolescents* (1978), pubblicato per la EMI, è considerato un classico del punk rock e ha raggiunto il successo commerciale in Gran Bretagna. Tra i brani più noti del gruppo figurano «Oh Bondage! Up Yours!!», «Identity» e «The Day the World Turned Day-Glo». Dopo lo scioglimento degli X-Ray Spex nel 1980, Poly Styrene ha continuato la sua carriera musicale come solista fino alla sua scomparsa nel 2011.
