So you been to school for a year or two

And you know you've seen it all

In daddy's car thinkin' you'll go far

Back east your type don't crawl
     
     G                D                          <- switch to chords
Play ethnicky jazz to parade your snazz
        G               D
On your five grand stereo
G                             D
Braggin that you know how the niggers feel cold
        G                 D
And the slums got so much soul
     D       C          G   C    A
It's time to taste what you most fear
D           C        G    C   A
Right Guard will not help you here
A         B        C   B
Brace yourself, my dear
A         B        C   D
Brace yourself, my dear

It's a holiday in Cambodia
C     A              G F           riff1
Don't forget to pack a wife


riff1
You're a Star-Belly Sneech you suck like a leech

You want everyone to act like you

Kiss ass while you bitch so you can get rich 

But your boss gets richer off you
     
     G                         D
Well you'll work harder with a gun in your back
      G              D
For a bowl of rice a day
G                  D
Slave for soldiers till you starve
          G                     D
Then your head is skewered on a stake
D           C            G      C   A
Now you can go where the people are one
D           C             G   C      A
Now you can go where they get things done
A        B        C   B
What you need, my son
A        B        C   D
What you need, my son


       A       C     D
It's a holiday in Cambodia
