Lyrics King Leopold II - Down I Go

King Leopold II

Righteous invasion!
White Man’s Empire!
Take it over!
March on up the Congo tapping rubber for an absent
King.
(Must be done quicker!)
Fingers shredding, children snatched and still they
keep us marching on.
Can’t go on!
Soldiers feasting in luxury.
Natives dying in the dirt.
Hands smashed up with rifles against trees, just
corpses marching on.
Work them hard, all day long.
They’re not people, it’s not wrong.
Pass the blame to the top.
Follow orders.
Not your fault.
Brutal torture without
thought.
Righteous Empire!
White Man’s Empire!
Take it over!
