Lyrics

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

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
So laws and literature will separate you and keep you 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
They've no interest in stopping a racist world power at all
That's why they're so late in the war
'Till the japs threatened their chinese recourse
No head was sent from one german that 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

The vp's very own halliburton
They reap billions in oilish 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
