Break Them Down - Graham Parker

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 death 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

Losing their loin cloths as they gain ethnicide

All dressed in Western clothes and God will be their guide

Break them down

Break them down

Break them down

Break them down

Break them down
