Go Down Witch Down |
So go down witch, go down |
Go down witch, go down |
For tho' you are my sister |
And although you are my mother |
And my cousin and my lover |
Go down witch, go down |
For you will not stay in servitude |
Your insolence is vile and rude |
You shun the work you’re given less my round |
When monogamy is practical for work and socialization |
You will stand to subjugation or go down |
So go down, Arawak, down |
Go down, black man, down |
For you are not my father |
Or my uncle, or my mother |
Or my sister, or my brother |
Just go down, Arawak, down |
Well, Columbus told Spain there was gold here |
But you’ve not produced enough |
So we’ll send you back as slaves to fund our rounds |
And black man you won’t bend |
And you incite the white servants and slaves to riot |
Let laws and literature separate you and keep you down, down |
Go down witch, go down |
Go down witch, go down, down down |
So go down, American Nisei, go down |
Go down, American Japanese, go down |
World War Two, Yanks are sending home |
Japanese skulls to their girlfriends |
No interest in stopping a racist world power at all |
And that’s why they’re so late in the war |
'Til the Japs threatened their Chinese recourse |
No head was sent from one German, went down |
And not one A-bomb was dropped on Europe, see |
So go down to Guantanamo, go down |
For although you were our partners |
No now you are not our brothers |
Or our fathers, or our mothers |
So go down witch, go down |
When the VP’s very own Halliburton |
They reap billions in owlish benefits |
Different cultures are deemed inferior when profitable |
And if racism is not natural, it’s the result of certain conditions |
The fact that laws had to be passed to forbid |
Relations between blacks and whites shows |
The strength of the tendency to be in union |
So go down witch, go down |
Go down witch, go down, down go |
Go down witch, go down |
So go down witch, go down |
