Amy Morrissey - Anthropology Days lyrics

In nineteen o four/ St Louis Olympics/ Non-whites were forced/ To participate/ In something called/ Anthropology Days Events included/ Mud-fighting and spear-throwing/ , “The Costumed Members of Uncivilized Tribes”/ Is how these human beings were described./ Men with Cambridge degrees were made to climb trees/ And forced to dress in animal hides! CHORUS: A little lesson in history/ This is a little some, just to fire you up/ So the next time you meet/ An idiot/ You'll remember to tell them to SHUT THE fu*k UP! In nineteen sixteen/ In Tennessee/ An elephant was hanged for the murder of its trainer / Who just happened to be/ A drunken hobo First they tried to shoot it/ Then electrocute it [Chorus] In a Summer's night,/ In nineteen eighty two/ In Detroit/ Vincent Chin was murdered- Beaten to d**h with a baseball bat The man who k**ed him got three years' probation They used to raid/ Gay bars and then print/ The names of everyone arrested in the newspaper/ People lost their jobs/ And families Oh in 1930 Pat Robertson was born! [Chorus] Aw one Mississippi Two Mississippi THREE MISSISSIPPI - AW THE WHOLE fu*kING STATE! One Mississippi Two Mississippi THREE MISSISSIPPI AW fu*k THAT PLACE!
