The lyrics come from a documentary called Bontoc Eulogy (actually a mockumentary), which you can watch on YouTube. They're sampled in real time from a section you can watch as Bontoc Eulogy Part 4, starting around minute 3. The whole text is below; I've bracketed the parts you don't hear in York's sample:
[One day the head of the reservation ordered them to wear trousers and shirts, to adapt]

googled this: To the civilised ways of the fair goers. These clothes, pity for these onlookers. cover their pale bodies from the sun and the wind. were ordered to remove this clothing. Paid to get in. and as they always were Touched by the reaches of civilisation, its worth, simple ways, people. To the athletic matches arranged by the authorities, (not sure but it's not 'if'), kills. In our tribesmen and people from other lands. //but can´t still undertsnd //TRANCE HOULD REAMIN LIKE THIS!
thank you jennymmmmmmm! those are the clearest versions of the lyrics i've seen yet! =P but it seems weird that he says "atheltic matches".... the authorites are arranging athletic matches????? dang weird lyrics -__-
Hi all, i need some help for the lyrics, want to understand, what he is saying at the begin. Is that right ? To the civilised ways of the fair goes. This clothes, paid for these onlookers. To cover their pale bodies from the sun and the wind. For order to remove this clothing. Pay to get in. Must they always wear. Touched by the reachers of civilisation, its worth, simple ways, people. To the athletic masses arranged by the authorities, if, kills. In our tribesmen and people from other lands.

This is the original noob. You probably have an illegally downloaded mislabeled tune. This is the original mix...and a good one, better than Rank 1s shitty mix.
