Go Down Witch Down

Lyrics

[Chorus 1] So go down witch, go down Go down witch, go down For though you are my sister And although you are my mother And my cousin and my lover Go down witch, go down [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 2] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Refrain] Go down witch, go down Go down witch, go down, down, down [Chorus 3] So go down, American Nisei, go down Go down, American Japanese, go down WWII, 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Outro] So go down witch, go down Go down witch, go down, down go Go down witch, go down So go down witch, go down
