Village Besieged Across from the incense altar in the courtyard threshing ground Smokestacks at the Petrochemical Complex in their hundreds When they screw up, it’s the neighbors who are out of luck When they drink all the water, it’s the river that dies When they pay taxes, it’s Taipei that rises When they spew their smoke, heaven and earth show no mercy for the folk At the altar in the courtyard threshing ground, no one sings the gods’ praise Smokestacks at the Petrochemical Complex are sending up their haze When they pray to heaven, the gods go deaf and dumb When they pray to earth, the plants grow all wrong When they pray to the people, their bodies rebel When they pray to the water, the fish are all gone

Village Besieged
Across from the incense altar in the courtyard threshing ground
Smokestacks at the Petrochemical Complex in their hundreds
When they screw up, it’s the neighbors who are out of luck
When they drink all the water, it’s the river that dies
When they pay taxes, it’s Taipei that rises
When they spew their smoke, heaven and earth show no mercy for the folk
At the altar in the courtyard threshing ground, no one sings the gods’ praise
Smokestacks at the Petrochemical Complex are sending up their haze
When they pray to heaven, the gods go deaf and dumb
When they pray to earth, the plants grow all wrong
When they pray to the people, their bodies rebel
When they pray to the water, the fish are all gone
