Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Listen to the voice of Buddha
Saying, stop your sericulture
Little people like your offspring, boiled alive for some God's stocking
Buddha's watching, Buddha's waiting
[Verse 2]
Just because the kid's an orphan, is no excuse for thoughtless slaying
People, don't forget this torture, just because you call her mother
Doesn't mean that she's your better
[Verse 3]
Once more with the voice of Buddha
He'll say carry on your slaughter
Who cares for the little children?
You may slice with no conviction
Blind revenge on a blameless victim
[Verse 4]
Listen to the voice of Buddha
Saying, stop your sericulture
Who cares for the little children?
You may slice with no conviction
Blind revenge on a blameless victim
[Verse 5]
Listen to the voice of Buddha
Listen to the voice of Buddha
Listen to the voice of Buddha
