Graham Parker & The Shot - Break Them Down lyrics

The missionary's position is clear, break them down Converting the savage Panare, break them down And purge them of all of their sins, break them down Whilst making funds trading jaguar skins, break them down The new tribe's mission and the lord, break them down Are gonna fit them with a vinyl spinal cord, break them down In the jungle in Venezuela, break them down Checked shirts, radios, barbed wire, break them down Ooh when they teach those savages to believe We'll all be one step closer to world harmony Break them down Break them down They rewrote the lord's prayer, break them down And made the d**h of Christ the work of the Panare, break them down Nearby Darwin was hanging by his throat, break them down The fundamentalists were starting to gloat, break them down Ooh when they teach those savages to believe We'll all be one step closer to world harmony Break them down Break them down Losing their loin cloths as they gain ethnicide All dressed in Western clothes and god will be their guide Break them down
