Life in Brunei by Rob Jetten Gang Lyrics
[Intro]
This is the Rob Jetten Gang
Fighting injustice
With a new song
[Verse]
Let me take you to the far off land of Brunei
Where the climate's tropical, the mountains high
It all just seems so innocent to the naked eye
But all that innocence is just a lie
Buying alcohol forbidden
Adultery is forbidden
Pornography is forbidden
Christmas trees are forbidden
If you're gay, you better stay hidden
'Cuz you'll get stoned to death if they find out
A state of emergency is what Brunei is in
Sincе 1962, 58 years its been
The king has power ovеr everyone and everything
And he kinda looks like Adam Sutler's lost twin
The man has 7k cars, 3 wives and 12 children
Also, did I mention that his net worth is 20 billion?
That boy's rich, but his people are poor
Also he married his cousin
[Chorus]
That's life in Brunei
Obey or die
Only to satisfy the Sultan
Power abuse, no excuse
Not a single thing you hear about it on the news
That's life in Brunei
Obey or die
Only to satisfy the Sultan
Who spends his days sitting on the throne
That man should be overthrown
[Verse]
If a gay guy comes to Brunei does he get boned, does he get stoned, 'cuz you guys don't condone, with a condom, in his own home?
Even old Rome let it be known that it was their own
Choice
You don't know that word?
I find that pretty absurd
Has it ever occurred
That you are all in one big herd?
Held together by religion
Which isn't even your decision
Forced to have a circumcision
Neverending prohibition
"Brunei the Abode of Peace"
Aggressively forced by corrupt police
The oil will finally decrease
Their economy more fucked than that of Greece
What is Brunei gonna do then?
Finally get rid of that stupid Sultan?
He's more racist than the Ku Klux Klan
I guess I'm clearly not a fan
That's 'cuz I don't work at Shell
I'm not going straight to hell
He is, with his personnel
I will personally yell
100 decibels in his face
He'll catch a case
He's a disgrace
I'll leave no trace
When I push him off the staircase
[Chorus]
That's life in Brunei
Obey or die
Only to satisfy the Sultan
Power abuse, no excuse
Not a single thing you hear about it on the news
That's life in Brunei
Obey or die
Only to satisfy the Sultan
Who spends his days sitting on the throne
That man should be overthrown
[Outro]
Maybe that was a little too aggressive
We're just two guys trying to be progressive
We can't simply sit here and just be passive
While that Sultan is being so suppressive
We hope that we uprooted
This issue that was undisputed
But if we're ever in Brunei
We'll definitely be executed
This is the Rob Jetten Gang
