Anthropology Days Lyrics

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"
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 f*** 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 f****** STATE!
One Mississippi,
Two Mississippi,
THREE MISSISSIPPI AW f*** THAT PLACE!
