The Dutch Fist

Inching forward, single file
Immune to the malaria mosquito haze
On the deck of a slaver

One more time you strain your neck
For one last glimpse of your young fine wife
Tied ankle to ankle
Boarding a different ship

Fast-forward two hundred years
The Dutch Fist has adjusted its grip
The bank branch fat manager's bosses
Are using credit like they used to use the whip

They'll change your name
Then make you pay
Oh yes, they'll change your name
Then make you pay

They take your family tree but they can't sell you a house
They'll make you pay
It's half a million at least and you need interest and down
They'll make you pay
In Gary Indiana when you get off this train
They'll make you pay
Consider bringing a whip to help you understand the old-fashioned pain
(What'll they do?)
They'll take your name

(They'll change your name)
They'll take your name and make you pay for it
(They'll change your name)
They'll take your name and make you...
