Another song about Euro Colonialism and Imperialism. How our actions today affect the lives of generations tomorrow.
lyrics
Somalia (Tarzan Must Die)
Well, here they come, one by one, and, they won't be happy
'till the deed is done
They won't be happy 'till Tarzan's dead, squished his brains
Smashed his head
The elephants march, one by one,
Tell Tarzan his days are done
The elephants scream, the elephants shout
It's my jungle, and, I want him out
The White man, or just the rich man has been raping Africa
Enslaving people, poaching wildlife, appropriating resources
chipping away with his imperialist chisel of cultural...
inferiority
His White man, Tarzan, king of the jungle
Rain forest depletion, cattle farming
Public apathy is most alarming
Grain is used for livestock while people dying
Crazy lifeboat theory used for justifying
Thinning out the herd, all throughout the World
Clinging to their vine as Tarzan swings on by
Tarzan is the King of the beasts, but pretty soon he'll be a feast
He swings around on the trees like an ape, but we all know he's
just a fake
Tarzan thinks that he's so great, uh - uh buddy, you're out of shape
No need to worry, no need to cry, the time has come
Tarzan must Die!
Starvation, dehydration, scurvy, evaporation is History is evaporating
Water isn't mixing with your oil tanker
Rain is now forgotten, plant life extinction, wild life extinction
Human being extinction...
I'm afraid that I hate the Human Race, and, I hope one day that Armageddon comes, and, If I go too well I don't mind
As long as I see those poachers DIE!!!
