The Dead Milkmen Anthropology Days [BONUS] lyrics
Anthropology Days [BONUS] lyrics by The Dead Milkmen
In nineteen o four/
St Louis Olympics/
Non-whites were forced/
to participate/
in something called/
Anthropology Days.
Events included/
Mud-fighting and spear-throwing/
, “The Costumed Members of Uncivilized Tribesâ€/
is how these human beings were described./
Men with Cambridge degrees were made to climb trees/
and forced to dress in animal hides!
CHORUS:
A little lesson in history/
This is a little some, just to fire you up/
so the next time you meet/
an idiot/
you'll remember to tell them to SHUT THE FUCK UP!
In nineteen sixteen/
in Tennessee/
an elephant was hanged for the murder of its trainer /
who just happened to be/
a drunken hobo.
First they tried to shoot it/
then electrocute it.
[CHORUS]
In a Summer's night,/
in nineteen eighty two/
in Detroit/
Vincent Chin was murdered-
beaten to death with a baseball bat.
The man who killed him got three years' probation.
They used to raid/
gay bars and then print/
the names of everyone arrested in the newspaper/
people lost their jobs/
and families.
Oh in 1930,
Pat Robertson was born!
[CHORUS]
Aw one Mississippi,
Two Mississippi.
THREE MISSISSIPPI - AW THE WHOLE FUCKING STATE!
One Mississippi,
Two Mississippi,
THREE MISSISSIPPI AW FUCK THAT PLACE!
