Oppression - Ben Harper

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 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 learn to fear me
