rest of the lyrics (they fit in the same way as above) :
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 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 me oppression you shall fear me
