about

originally from the Gone To Bolivia album, arranged by Audrey Ochoa and performed live with horns and strings

lyrics

Its your choice to take a chance, on drinking from a still
To take a walk through traffic, you might catch a thrill
Every bit of medicine you choose to take the pill

Maybe you won’t get killed
in Burma
If the Junta doesn’t get you, The cyclone will


A mighty man might come along and shoot you in the face
you could have a heart attack running in a race
get a disease, sleeping in the wrong place


Maybe you won’t get killed
in Burma
If the Junta doesn’t get you , The cyclone will

try a new diet stick a finger down your throat
Perform a criminal act on an old farmer’s goat
Choose to live on land or on a BC house boat

Maybe you won’t get killed
In Burma
If the Junta doesn’t get you , The cyclone will
