BOY SETS FIRE lyrics : "Holiday In Cambodia"
So you been to schools For a year or two And you know you've

type don't crawl Play ethnicky jazz To parade your snazz On your

you'll kiss $$# or crack Pol Pot Pol Pot Pol Pot Pol Pot etc...
Where you'll do what you're told A holiday in Cambodia Where the
slums got so much soul.
