now there is no god but development
and chidambaram is his prophet
so sacred hills must be mined
so sacred forests felled
for the god demands a sacrifice
and it is always a lamb
to slaughter.
take this bauxite
my body
take this coal
my blood
for it is your dharma
to tear it up
your karma
to follow through
for the god demands a sacrifice
and it is always a lamb
to slaughter.
