Oh, 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, aah no
Oppression,
You shall learn to fear me, yes you will

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, aah no
Oppression,
You shall learn to fear me, yes you will

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, aah no
Oppression,
You shall learn to fear me, yes you will
Oppression,
I won't let you near me, aah no
Oppression,
You shall fear me, yes you will, aah
