Array ( [sid] => 17922 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => DEATH RACE [time] => 2003-05-21 20:05:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => In Iraq we killed you in your thousands
But that’s no cause for your revenge
Doing that would not be right
For you are brown and we are white

Here in our death-dealing fighters
We are justified 'cause we are whiter!

The Israelis also see it as we do
One of them is worth ten of you

And if you think this means war
And try to fight us further
And you attack and kill us too
We’ll scream and call it terror

If you feel you’re equal
and your deaths have meaning like ours
You couldn’t be more mistaken
Why? Because we’re different colours!

It is so much worse
When the slaughter
is of three thousands of us
When it happens to you
We don't care what you do
We really couldn't care
We know the death race exists
What can we say?
It wasn't MEANT to be fair!

But we are here and you are there
Why not just stay in your place?
Then we'll get along
Be nice and quiet and out of our face

We don’t want any fuss
We just want low labour costs
And all your natural resources
THEN we’ll treat you right
Just like a kindly boss

As long as you stay well in line
Then we'll get along very fine!

But look for the standards
We white folks get
And we'll get really mad
Try to stop our relentless rise
And curb our resource eating
We will even more despise
The brown faces we are beating

So why make trouble?
Do exactly what we say!
There’s a nice little slave
Stay right there in your place
Don't get flattened
As we get fattened
By this wonderful death race

DEATH RACE
