Oh Sri Lanka Lyrics - American Psycho [original London Cast Recording] - Duncan Sheik

Apartheid for one 

Is simply not done 

And we need to slow down the arms race 

Terrorism is fine 

It keeps the commies in line 

And ending world hunger will save face 

The Middle East is a beast 

A big drag at least 

It sure needs some kind of segue 

But the last thing we need 

In the land overseas 

Are displays of American meddling 

Oh Sri Lanka 

Your love I cannot find 

You are so distant 

You are not one of mine 

We need to ensure 

America's pure 

And takes care of the domestic 

Old men and old ladies 

And babies with rabies 

The places where AIDS has infested 

Let's take some axes 

To federal taxes 

Let's throw away our inhibitions 

Let's open the doors 

For standards and poors 

And mergers and acquisitions 

I hope you die yuppie scum 

I can't believe that we came from 

All the same material 

The same dead end, the same home 

Oh Sri Lanka 

Your love I cannot find 

You are so distant 

You are not one of mine 

Oh Sri Lanka 

We do not understand 

You are so ... 

You ... my land 

Oh Sri Lanka
