Evil is a Long Way from Home

from Techno Alien by The Songs of Tom Smith

/

lyrics

Polynesians come in canoes to settle one of their rows
Victors take a prisoner, prepare him to be devoured
On the matter of cannibals, we have a lesson to teach
We slaughter natives as is fit, but never stoop to eat one

CHORUS
Evil is a long way from home
If you’re prepared to travel that far
Evil is a long way from home
By God we must take charge

Stranded on an island, without a cup of tea to pour
Polite conversation, enshrined into law
Rule over nature with a plough build God a new nation
Recreate England for the sake of civilisation

CHORUS

The chief’s daughter wants to be converted, I have a missionary urge
Spread the Lord’s word besides she lusts for me I am certain
God provides power and riches, burn your idols to the ground
You will join the Empire too when I grant you a little power
