lyrics

I’ve seen mothers in mourning
Under the silver light of morning
The coroner said “another dead kid”
The newspaper read “it’s epidemic”
All right, sleep tight, China White
Tell me how does it differ
This flower, from say, the rose of England?
To protect the fields men are slaughtered
In the opium den the sad man sells his daughter
All right, sleep tight, China White
Here In America’s wastelands
There’s total devastation, man
It can be hard to find something to live for
Dope gives the kids something to die for
They’re giving the kids something to die for
All right, sleep tight, China Wte
