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
