📜 Lyrics
So you've been in school for a year or two
You know how to use it all
And there you're still thinking you can find
That easy driving don't crawl
Raining cats and parading rats
On your five-watt stereo
So blame it on the soul that doesn't get enough
And make it all sound so much soul
It's time to taste what you must hear
Rise, I will not help you here
Brace yourself for this
Brace yourself for this
It's a holiday in Cambodia
It's not just fun, it's a lie
A holiday in Cambodia
Don't forget to pack the white, oh
You've been in all the places you saw
But like a leper, everyone's as white as you
You can't ask for your fix when you can get a lick
When you must get rich, you're abused
Where do you hide when they've got your back
For your father and rights to leave?
So blame it on the soul that doesn't get enough
And make it all sound so much soul
Now you can go where the people are washed
Now you can go where the empty lost
Wash the needy, my son
Wash the needy, my son
It's a holiday in Cambodia
Where the people dress in black
It's a holiday in Cambodia
Where you can get the whack, oh
Vov, vah
Vov, vah
Vov, vah
Vov, vah
Sing it
Vov, vah
Vov, vah
Vov, vah
Vov, vah
Vov, vah
Yeah
It's a holiday in Cambodia
Where you do what you're told
A holiday in Cambodia
Where it's not just so much soul
Vov, vah
You know how to use it all
And there you're still thinking you can find
That easy driving don't crawl
Raining cats and parading rats
On your five-watt stereo
So blame it on the soul that doesn't get enough
And make it all sound so much soul
It's time to taste what you must hear
Rise, I will not help you here
Brace yourself for this
Brace yourself for this
It's a holiday in Cambodia
It's not just fun, it's a lie
A holiday in Cambodia
Don't forget to pack the white, oh
You've been in all the places you saw
But like a leper, everyone's as white as you
You can't ask for your fix when you can get a lick
When you must get rich, you're abused
Where do you hide when they've got your back
For your father and rights to leave?
So blame it on the soul that doesn't get enough
And make it all sound so much soul
Now you can go where the people are washed
Now you can go where the empty lost
Wash the needy, my son
Wash the needy, my son
It's a holiday in Cambodia
Where the people dress in black
It's a holiday in Cambodia
Where you can get the whack, oh
Vov, vah
Vov, vah
Vov, vah
Vov, vah
Sing it
Vov, vah
Vov, vah
Vov, vah
Vov, vah
Vov, vah
Yeah
It's a holiday in Cambodia
Where you do what you're told
A holiday in Cambodia
Where it's not just so much soul
Vov, vah
