Great White Hunter

Zounds

I am the Great White Hunter 
And you know I've come to search 
Just to further human knowledge 
All for science and research

And if by chance I bring back 
What I am looking for 
They'll be someone somewhere waiting 
With their fingers round a purse

I am the missionary christian 
I'm taking violence to the blacks 
Oh I am threatening western culture 
And I'm collecting all the tax

I'm taking whiskey to the natives 
A tribal comes bourgeoisie 
Of course a market's just a market 
I'm working for the bourgeoisie

But don't associate me with that no more 
And maybe that's a color but I am sure 
I'm not like that and I never will 
Condone the things they do and the reasons that they kill

Well I will murder baby seals 
And I'll sell their skins for gold 
I'll murder injun's in the jungle 
Just to make way for a road

And I will fight the rebel armies 
All for profit, not for cause 
I'll sell arms to rival armies 
And make profit from their wars

But don't associate me with that no more 
And maybe that's a color but I am sure 
I'm not like that and I never will 
Condone the things they do and the reasons that they kill

Oh well! I am the Great White Hunter 
Oh yes! I am the great exploiter 
Oh yes! I am the great destroyer 
Oh yes! I am the Great White Hunter

But don't associate me with that no more 
And maybe that's a color but I am sure 
I'm not like that and I never will 
Condone the things they do and the reasons that they kill
