Lyrics
The China Run
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
See the opium warlords
Feuding in the golden states
Who wins takes the contracts
To feed the western tastes
On and on and on
From here to kingdom come
One slip, you're hooke
One more fool on the China Run
From mountains deep in Asia
To the west, contramand by sea
Raw juice refined to addiction
Big bucks out in the streets
On and on and on
From here to kingdom come
One slip, you're hooked
One more fool on the China Run
See the heroin dealer
Stealing off the kids getting high
On the edge, some kid slipping slowly
That final step's just a matter of time
On and on and on
From here to kingdom come
One slip, you're hooked
One more fool on the China Run
