Anthropology Days

(专辑： Pretty Music For Pretty People - 2014)

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 Tribes"
As how these human beings were described
Men with Cambridge degrees were made to climb trees
And forced to dress in animal hides

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

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 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

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!

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!

Aw one Mississippi
Two Mississippi
Three Mississippi
Aw, the whole fucking state
One Mississippi
Two Mississippi
Three Mississippi
Aw, fuck that place!
