I haven’t eaten anything,
And deep down inside I feel diseased,
Malaria’s building up in me.

Now that the water’s passed through me,
I piss it back into the stream,
Where I wash my kids in the urine,
Can’t get rid of the smell now.

Hold my breath ‘cause it stinks of pee,
Oh please God feed me!

Back in the heat it’s much too real,
Working in the paddy field,
This year’s not much of a yield,
Not enough to feed my family.

Starved to death ‘cause there ain’t much rice,
Oh God you’re not nice!

Mosquitoes bite me as I eat the grass,
Now I scratch my...

Starved to death ‘cause there ain’t much rice,
Oh God you’re not nice!

Famine! Has taken my food, taken my hopes, taken my children,
Taken my home, taken my rice, taken my waist, taken my precious water.

Poverty! Has taken my shoes, taken my clothes, taken my virginity,
Taken my job, taken my name, taken my all, taken my life over!
