So you been to school For a year or two And you know you've seen it all In daddy's car Thinkin' you'll go far Back east your type don't crawl Play ethnicky jazz To parade your snazz On your five grand stereo Braggin' that you know How the s**ers feel cold And the slums got so much soul It's time to taste what you most fear Right guard will not help you here Brace yourself, my dear Brace yourself, my dear It's a holiday in Cambodia It's tough, kid, but it's life It's a holiday in Cambodia Don't forget to pack a wife You're a star-belly sneech You s** like a leech You want everyone to act like you Kiss a** while you b**h
So you can get rich But your boss gets richer off you Well you'll work harder With a gun in your back For a bowl of rice a day Slave for soldiers Till you starve Then your head is skewered on a stake Now you can go where people are one Now you can go where they get things done What you need, my son What you need, my son Is a holiday in Cambodia Where people dress in black A holiday in Cambodia Where you'll kiss a** or crack Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot, etc And it's a holiday in Cambodia Where you'll do what you're told A holiday in Cambodia Where the slums got so much soul
