Intro
(Just Drums)
[Verse]
E D C#m
The first world's got greedy, we're consuming it all
E C#m
The third world's got hunger and military control
C#m
This unequal balance is a master plan
E D C#m
One gets rich from the other's land
E D C#m E
C#m E D
They've got it all worked out
D E D C#m
and we give our consent
[Verse]
E D C#m
They've got it all worked out for Central America
E C#m
They've got it all worked out for Africa
E
And in our naivety we believe myths and overconsume
E
And give them our consent
E
Dying in the shadow of the USA
E
"Let them eat bullshit, make the land pay"
E D
Make a fast deal with the local elite
E
Then substitute cash-crops where once grew wheat
B D
Build a cycle of dependence on a starvation-diet
E F#
With food as a weapon, workers stay quiet
[Verse]
B A
And multinational names have blood on their brands
B A
From taking an interest in misused lands
E A
Del Monte, Tate & Lyle, Ralston Purina
E
Coca-Cola, RTZ, and Unilever
E
All packaging lifestyles for the glamorous west
E
Expand the company, exploit the rest
[Instrumental]
A B E A B E
A B E A B E
A B E A B E
[Verse]
E A
We are not isolated by distance
B E B A
But by greed and our racist history
B E B
Just a wall's width away
A B
Still impossible to see across
E B A
This space in front on me
[Bridge]
B E B
It's we who write this history
A B
We who guard the money-tree
E B
We support the companies
A B
We stole the colonies
E A B E B A
[Refrain]
E B
And when the system starts to crack
A B
We'll have to ready to give it all back
E B
And when the system starts to crack
A B
We'll have to ready to give it all back
E B
And when the system starts to crack
A B
We'll have to ready to give it all back
E Eb D C#m
[Bridge]
E Ebm D C#m
See the space which lies between the rich and the poor
E Ebm D C#m
How the space increases as we keep on taking more
E Eb D C#m
Keeping that space between us all
E Eb D C#m
Is how the west can keep control...
[Instrumental]
E Eb D C#m
E Eb D C#m
[Verse]
E Eb
With a mission and a chequebook promising aid
D C#m
Posing for the camera the United Nations man came
E Eb
He talked of control and the terrible drought
D C#m
And the way that the west would bail them out
E D
They he stopped smiling and talked conditions
E D
Of mutual aid; of American wishes
E
Sending in aid with sewn-on strings
E
If they won't buy arms - then it's pulled back in
E A
Feeding the world American style
B D
Col Sanders has an empire behind his smile
B E
Back up the investments with a military regime
B D
Then cleverly say: "It's to keep the world free!"
[Instrumental]
E Eb D C#m
E Eb D C#m
[Verse]
E
But the multinational myths are beginning to fall
E
The poor don't want aid, they want control
E
And if we really want to see the Third World eat
E Eb C#m
We've got to see through the wrapping on the high street
E
Past barriers of culture that dictate our lives
E C#m
We're busy consuming as the other half dies
E
And the answer's not a question on charity -
E
Not whilst profit's still the top priority -
E
So let the glossy shop-fronts know what to expect
E B
And you Bosses of Companies...
[Outro]
F#m Dm
And the cycle of hungry children
C#m F#m E D C#m F#m E
Will keep on going round
F#m D C#m F#m
Until we burn the multinationals to the ground
Fm Eb D
