Break Them Down

G#m c#m g#m c#m ebm g#m

The missionary's position is clear, break them do---wn

G#m c#m g#m c#m ebm g#m

Converting the savage panare, break them do----wn

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

Ebm c#m ebm g#m

Ooh when they teach those savages to believe

Ebm c#m g#mebm

We'll all be one step closer to world harmony

(ebm) g#m c#m g#m c#m ebm g#m

Break them down, break them do---wn

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

Bridgelosing their loin cloths as they gain ethnicide

All dressed in western clothes and God will be their guide

Break them down.
