He

Lyrics

She gave him life, yet he would rather she be dead Out of her soil and her genitalia she bled The tears of love and pain on down through millennia The only love that he knows is necrophilia He is a servant of god and capital Conquer the land for the gold, tobacco, and the animals He came on ships, brought his horses and disease He took by force what was offered to him peacefully He robbed and killed and slayed up and down the coast Columbus, Captain Smith, Cortés, father, son, and the holy ghost Through his ceaseless wars he molds identity Raped the natives and their land, demoralized his enemy Drain the human will and labor energy Blast furnace coal mines, sweat shops and textile mills Symbol of the wolf, staring down the barrel of a gun Like Kuwaiti oil fields burning in the desert sun Every class and race, every corner of the world China, India, Africa, America, and Europe She feels connected to our life, but he must stand alone In the name of progress, the damage he has done To purify her soul and her body in his eyes Decapitate and irrigate the other, sterilize Everything he fears or doesn't want to learn Like a Hindu widow or a witch, she must be burned Science is the word, his sword the medicine Modern gynecology and vivisection, he removed her sex organs He bound her feet, chained up in the factory, a milk and birth machine He erased her voice, her language, and her signs He rewrote all the history books to cover up the crimes Symbol of the Wolf, striking fear in the soul of men Wiping out the predator so he can hunt the sacred game
