Lyrics

The missionary's position is clear
Break them down
Converting the savage pioneer
Break them down
And purge them of all of their sins
Break them down
Whilst making funds trading jaguar skins
Break them down
The new tribes 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
Check shirts, radios, barbed wire
Break them down
Ooh, when they teach the savages to believe
We'll all be one step closer to world harmony
Break them down
Break them down
They rewrote the Lord's prayer
Break them down
And made the death of Christ the work of the pioneer
Break them down
Nearby, Darwin was hanging by his throat
Break them down
The fundamentalists were starting to gloat
Break them down
Losing their loincloths as they gain anthracite
All dressed in western clothes and God will be their guide
Break them down
Break them down
Break them down
Break them down
