Cambodia (live)
We've watched them leaving, seen their ragged flight
Farmilies 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 tomorrowin 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, 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 knocking at your door
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 go to you
People 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 killed 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 feed to you, try in Cambodia
People of Kampuchea, Kampuchea, Kampuchea, Cambodia
