Ben Harper Oppression Lyrics

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
