about

An ode to the absurdity of colonialism

lyrics

White man he come into my village
He say I’m gonna make things better for you
So everybody in my village
They go out and they buy a tin roof
He gonna civilize us
culturize us
colonize us —
if you will.
He gonna civilize us
culturize us —
he gonna show us better ways to kill

White man he come into my village
He say I’m gonna show you how to enjoy life more
So he bring us all a picture
of a bearded man that he call Lord.
He gonna civilize us
culturize us
colonize us —
if you will.
He gonna civilize us
culturize us —
he gonna show us better ways to kill

White man he come into my village
claiming us all in the name of the queen
She got her picture on some funny paper
It’s the funniest lady that I’ve ever seen
He gonna civilize us
culturize us
colonize us —
if you will.
He gonna civilize us
culturize us —
he gonna show us better ways to kill

White man he come into my village
Bringin’ us a drink that he call gin
Don’t know why he brought it to us
Cause if you drink it they call it sin
He gonna civilize us
culturize us
colonize us —
if you will.
He gonna civilize us
culturize us —
he gonna show us better
he gonna show us better
he gonna show us better ways to kill

Katvanger Netherlands

Katvanger is a blues-tinged trio that defies description with a mix of originals that cannot be easily pigeonholed. Some might call it roots or Americana, but in fact, Katvanger’s idiosyncratic eclecticism defies description. With a conspiratorial wink, they’ve often described it as dubious blues, twisted roots, counterfeit country & western, and improbable jazz. ... more
