The Reachers Of Civilisation Lyrics by York

Experience

0

To the civilized ways of the fairgoers
These clothes
Pity for these onlookers
Cover their pale bodies from the sun and the wind
Were ordered to remove this clothing
Paid to get in
Em as they always were
Touched by the reaches of civilization
Worth
Imple ways
Eople
Ted in athletic matches arranged by the authorities
Ength
Kills
Ino tribesmen and people from other lands
--end of lyrics--
The lyrics come from a film called Bontoc Eulogy. The film script is below, the ALL CAPS parts are the lyrics in Reachers:
One day the head of the reservation ordered them to wear trousers and shirts, to adapt TO THE CIVILIZED WAYS OF THE FAIRGOERS
Markod tried on THESE CLOTHES, and he felt genuine PITY FOR THESE ONLOOKERS, who in shame had to COVER THEIR PALE BODIES FROM THE SUN AND THE WIND
Later, the Igorots WERE ORDERED TO REMOVE THIS CLOTHING
The spectators who PAID TO GET IN wanted to see thEM AS THEY ALWAYS WERE, wild, and unTOUCHED BY THE REACHES OF CIVILIZATION
They wanted their money'S WORTH, to gaze at the sIMPLE WAYS of the little brown pEOPLE
Markod compeTED IN ATHLETIC MATCHES ARRANGED BY THE AUTHORITIES, testing his strENGTH, speed, and sKILLS against other FilipINO TRIBESMEN AND PEOPLE FROM OTHER LANDS
