We've watched them leaving, seen their ragged flight
Children of the jungle, mothers of the night
A boy of ten by the roadside lies
Hears his future in whispers and cries
And clutching a tiny Buddha charm
A baby dies in his mother's arms
Is there only sorrow in Cambodia?
Is there no tomorrow in Cambodia?
Leaving the graves of your ancestors after a thousand years
Leaving a few belongings after a thousand tears
How come you never left before through bombing, famine and flood?
Are the rivers useless now spilling over with blood?
Is there only sorrow in Cambodia?
Is there no tomorrow in Cambodia?
I hear there are very few children from ages one to five
It takes more than jungle leaves to keep the young ones alive
I hear some of the rice got through the outside's trying to send to you
There you sit in the ruins of war, the doctors are waiting at your door
And we will try and feed you, try and go to you
People of Kampuchea, Cambodia
A little way in from the border in the crowded camps
I've seen mothers giving birth, seen beautiful orphans dance
An old man turns and covers his eyes, he was never supposed to cry
With sons and daughters and home and wife
Taken from him in his autumn life
Should we try and feed you, say hello to you
Old man of Kampuchea, Kampuchea, Cambodia
Call another conference, write another song
Deliver another ton of rice and hope it gets where it belongs
And rival teams of bandits are really the only choice
Even if the people had their bellies filled, even if the people had a voice
And meanwhile, lovers are caught in the crossfire
Children are caught in the barbed wire
Military sinks in the mire
Let me show it to you
Is there only sorrow, only sorrow in Cambodia?
Is there no tomorrow, no tomorrow in Cambodia?
Still we'll try and feed you, try and show to you
Hey! Are you ready...then get up!!
Let me hear some noise!
I see all you motherfuckers bum-rushing the floor tonight.
Y'all ready to make this motherfucking place go crazy
Get up! Get up! Woohah!
Oh...just a minute.
I see your mouth moving but I don't hear a word that you say.
Pop, mish, mosh, up in the brain I'm on my cycle.
Highways my ways up and down like the Dow Jones.
Pass these microphones.
I don't exaggerate.
Keep it real, only speak about the shit I hate.
Hey you people, just the tudes, attitudes.
Lose the attitude, I won't be fuckin' mad at you.
But if you're bitin' don't be fightin' kid.
I'm sorta likin' what you're stealin'.
That open wound style needs some healin'.
Jacked up on my flow, I'm glad you know.
Behind the spotlight got the phattest fuckin' live show.
You feel the tension.
Eyeballs in your socket.
Can comprehends how we rock it, you can't stop it.
You like the ways that we're livin', you need them.
Your demo tape I inspected, then ejected.
Who survives at the end of the day
With too much airplay, huh
I'm gonna keep it all underground.
Kansas City...join me!!
What do you know about this, punk
Who's hot
Who's not
Who! Who!
Who's hot Who's not
Oh...just a minute.
I see your mouth moving, but I don't hear a word that you say. Do you feel me baby
Pop hand grenades, best describe the impaction.
Can't get no satisfaction, take it back.
That was you doin' back in '82.
No need for answers, just a thought of your mental fallout shelter.
Helter Skelter, the J while bet ya, the beetle upset ya.
But I'm an easy rider like I'm Henry Fonda.
The kingpin Bizkit, the flows we aren't ya.
Mental highways, my path you can't stop the unexpected.
Check your road block.
Oh, like water, keep on rollin',
Cause this mic is mine and I'm gonna keep on shinin' on you.
I need your help Kansas City.
Get the fuck up!!
What do you know about this, punk
Who's hot
Who's not
Who! Who!
Who's hot
Who's not
Woohah! Cambodia!
Well
he was Thailand based
she was an airforce-wife.
He used to fly weekends
it was the easy life.
But then it turned around and he began to change.
She didn't wonder then
she didn't think it strange.
But then he got a call
he had to leave that night.
He couldn't say too much
but it would be all right.
He didn't need to pack - they'd meet the next night.
He had a job to do
flying to Cambodia.
And as the nights passed by she tried to trace the past.
The way he used to look
the way he used to laugh.
I guess she'll never know what got inside his soul.
She couldn't make it out
just couldn't take ist all.
He had the saddest eyes the girl had ever seen.
He used to cry some nights as though he lived a dream.
And as she held him close he used to search her face
As though she knew the truth - lost inside Cambodia.
But then a call came through
they said he'd soon be home.
She had to pack a case and they would make a rendezvous.
But now a year has passed and not a single word
And all the love she knew
Has disappeared out in the haze. - Cambodia.
Don't cry now - no tears now.
And now the years have passed with not a single word
But there is only one thing left
I know for sure
Well he was in Thailand based.
She was an airforce wife.
He used to fly weekends, it was the easy life.
But then
it turned around, and he began to change.
She didn't
wonder then, she didn't think it strange.
But then he
got a call, he had to leave that night.
He couln't say
too much, but it would be alright.
He didn't need to
pack, they'd meet the next night.
He had a job to do,
flying to Cambodia.
And as the nights passed by, she
tried to trace the past.
The way he used to look, the way
he used to laugh.
I guess she'll never know, what got
inside his soul.
She couldn't make it out, just
couldn't take it all.
He had the saddest eyes the girl
had ever seen.
He used to cry some nights, as though he
lived a dream.
And as she held him close, he used to search
