Ban Vinai

High on the misty mountains
Up in the forest mountain
Out in the fields of labor
Far from the distant neighbors
Golden seeds were scattered
Joyous sounds of laughter
Long before the sadness
Or the political madness
In the road to Ban Vinai
Dawn on a misty river
Down from their mountains quiver
Drenched to the boneless shiver
So many to deliver
How many crossed their borders
Over the mines and mortars
Lives ever lost and shattered
Their families bleeding battered
On the road to Ban Vinai
Til their mountain
Would tumble to the sea
Til that mountain
Hey we've got CocaCola
Yeah, we've got television
Driving on Motorola
Drive on our snap decisions
Feast on the ghost of pilgrims
Fast automatic weapons
Sacrifice for your children
There will be no exceptions
Down the road from Ban Vinai
Til their mountain
Would tumble to the sea
Til that mountain
Deep in the land of plenty
Fists full of tens and twenties
Dreams running under empty
Hope, merely having any
Jokes don't seem so funny
Skies won't look so sunny
You can forget about the milk and honey
If you sell your soul for money
Down the road from Ban Vinai
Til their mountain
Would tumble to the sea
Til that mountain
