Rancid - Oil and Opium lyrics
[Rancid - Oil and Opium lyrics]
Yangon Sule Pagoda hasn't seen since '88
Burma's bloody crackdown killing many
In the hate
Peaceful Buddhist monks, soldiers in the hunt
Left the bodies in the jungle to
Be eaten by the lake
Oil and Opium
The poor have been beaten upside down
Bullets are applied to the people who arise
Burning stinging tear gas hit's you
Right between the eyes
Soldiers locked and loaded this
Country's been exploited
Raid the monasteries and silence the debate
Oil and Opium
The poor have been beaten upside down
Burma's bloody crackdown killing many
In the hate
Peaceful Buddhist monks, soldiers in the hunt
Left the bodies in the jungle to
Be eaten by the lake
Oil and Opium
The poor have been beaten upside down
Bullets are applied to the people who arise
Burning stinging tear gas hit's you
Right between the eyes
Soldiers locked and loaded this
Country's been exploited
Raid the monasteries and silence the debate
Oil and Opium
The poor have been beaten upside down
