BEN HARPER LYRICS - Oppression

"Oppression"



Oppression

you pray on us when we sleep

oppression

you chase after the tired the poor the weak

oppression

you know you mean only harm

oppression

you reach out with your long arm



but oppression

I won't let you near me

oppression

you shall learn to fear me



oppression

you seek population control

oppression

to divide and to conquer is your goal

oppression

I swear that hatred is your home

oppression

you just won't leave bad enough alone



but oppression

I won't let you near me

oppression

you shall learn to fear me



oppression

I don't see how you sleep

oppression

for your bleeding conscience I weep

oppression

you may have the dollar on your side

but oppression

from the gospel truth you cannot hide

and

oppression

I won't let you near me

oppression

you shall learn to fear me

oppression

I won't let you near me

oppression

you shall fear me
