Lyrics for Oppression

Oppression You preyed on us when we sleep Oppression You chased 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's 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 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, yes you will
