lyrics

They told me I had to become civilized, civilized
They told me I had to become civilized, civilized

They told me I looked pretty
When I put makeup on my face
They gave me expensive clothes
So I wouldn’t look like a disgrace

They polished all my nails and
They told me to do my hair
They plucked out the hairs God gave me
So my skin was soft and bare

They told me I had to become civilized, civilized
They told me I had to become civilized, civilized

They taught me to smother oil
On the produce of the ground
And to form a crust of sugar
On the sweet peaches I found

They gave me all their riches and
They gave me all their chains
They gave me all their heritage
Hoping I would do the same

They told me I had to become civilized, civilized
They told me I had to become civilized, civilized

They gave me all their convenience and
They gave me all their pain
They gave me all their legacy
But I won’t carry on that name

They told me I had to become civilized, civilized
They told me I had to become civilized, civilized

They told me I had to become civilized, civilized
They told me I had to become civilized, civilized
