VERSE:
 Gslide   A   Gslide   A   Gslide   A   Gslide A  
Listen to the voice of Buddha
Saying stop your sericulture
CLittle people like your offspring EBoiled alive for some God's stocking

VERSE:
Just because the kid's an orphan
Is no excuse for thoughtless slaying
Children don't forget this torture
Just because you call her mother
Doesn't mean that she's your better

VERSE:
Once more with the voice of Buddha
He'll say carry on your slaughter
Who cares for the little children
You may slice with no conviction
Blind revenge on a blameless victim
REPEAT BREAK TO END
