Lyrics
Hard Rice & Molten Rain
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.
"This song is about the CIA's involvement in Laos in the 60's and 70's. A war hidden from the American public yet funded by their taxes."
From the belly of the beast
of a bird of prey
comes a torrential delivery
of hard rice and molten rain
Air America over the Plain of Jars
not bringing relief but further pain
we pay our taxes
to drop more ordinance
than Berlin received
during the course of WWII
a dirty secret war
of covert operations
illicit activities
cruel betrayal and sacrifice
