Oppression lyrics

Song information

Artist: Ben Harper
Album: Fight For Your Mind

Lyrics

Oppression
You prey 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, oh no
Oppression
You shall learn to fear me, yes you will
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, oh no
Oppression
You shall learn to fear me, yes you will

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, oh no no
Oppression
You shall learn to fear me, yes you will
Oppression
I won't let you near me, oh no
Oppression
You shall fear me, yeeeeah yes you will
