Aung San Su Kyi will be gone and
She'll be on a T-shirt
The marketing's good
Monks are dying
Soldier children crying
We're playing bubbles
With four year old curls
Torture, drug deals
Finance our dreams
Why should we care
The stock market's good
Petrol's booming
Generals' wooing
Trucks ares looming
In Rangun
We know your faces
Come out and die
And welcome the
Tourists under the
Burmese sky
But tomorrow Christine and
Me feel just the same
Without china tea

10 children out of 100 don't get to live to five years old
Ang San Suu Kyi will be gone and
She'll be on a T-shirt
The marketing's good
Monks are dying
Soldier children crying
We're playing bubbles
With four year old curls
But tomorrow Christine and
Me feel just the same
Maybe shade a tear in our china tea
But tomorrow the world will see
We did nothing for Ang San Suu Kyi
