During their four years in power, the Khmer Rouge overworked and starved the population, at the same time executing selected groups who had the potential to undermine the new state (including intellectuals or even those that had stereotypical signs of learning, such as glasses) and killing many others for even breaching minor rules.





Appetite for Destruction


they say that "history repeat"; dont take it lightly, now listen

this food for thought to curb an appetite for destruction...


bust it...


there's big and small, rich and poor, thin and wide

there's the brighter side and then we have the genocide

it started in seventy-five; as they marched through grand street

Prince Norodom couldn't Sihanouk(see a nook) and cranny

couldn't smell what they was cooking so we sound and cheered

a resounding spark that started off our foulest years

they would warn of attack, a propoganda act

in other words, it's Pol POT calling the kettle black

 held in the act their control was created by fear

as they spoon-fed us all these half-baked ideas

 terrorizing civilians..with claims of bomb threats

fitting they're Khmer Rouge they way they paint the town red

knowledge were down kept; trace were death impose

penalties were set on those who made a......."spectacle"

 so contempt and human waste replace rooms with full view

cuz literally, we'd sat and f'n stewed in their own juice

abuse by our own. truth......we'd fight to survive

 but starvation meant it's hard take a bite outta crime

 its appetite for destruction as hundreds' beaten n' battered

anarchists' cookbook pieced another recipe for disaster

believin strength in numbers, many counted their blessing

but if u are what u eat..then we amounted to nothing!

thousand were sent to rice field as senseless slaves!

the results were death if you went against the grain'

stench of pain had us praying "please buddha save us"

from starvation...we couldn't enjoy our...fruits of labor

so we chewed on the fact that we fighting with luck

 cause its either...u bite the bullet...or ur biting the dust

so bite ur tongue and despite the sad dramas and tears

vea mean kabut yurng mean chantak anah mote cheang?

placed in hells kitchen, we dwelled as restless souls

growing bitter; revenge was a dish best serve cold

and i would pester my folks 'bout how they managed escape

but then the mere thought would prompt a bad after-taste

the truth's hard to swallow; maybe not knowing is best

cause sometimes food for thought....can be hard to digest

so why bite more than you can chew; forget and forgo

cuz the reality will probably bring a big lump to your throat

friends become enemies when given rationed of sum

cuz fuck breakin bread..we too busy panning for crumbs

hardship and famine exposed our most basic design

how we'd opt for piece of cake instead

of peace of mind. sleep in silence

re-education were taught in vain

cuz they can try and brainwash the mind

but dirty thoughts remain

i got dreaaaamzzzz of

killing off these

sons of bitches

i aint playing

its kinda

cra
