Colonial run Congo
The lure of incredible wealth
Oppression and slavery
Mutilation, torture and death
They were forced to pay
Amputation was the way
A brutal way to motivate
They amputate.. they amputate..
Cruelty for those
Who didn’t meet their quota
Hands were cut off
From their wives and children
As for the rubber and the ivory
It yielded profits like no other
As for the people of the Congo
Only exploitation and horror
[solo]
They were forced to pay
Amputation was the way
A brutal way to motivate
They amputate.. they amputate..
They were forced to pay
Amputation was the way
A brutal way to motivate
They amputate.. they amputate..
