 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
 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
 
 ut oppression
 I won't let you near me
 oppression
 you shale 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 ma
 oppression
 you shall fear me
