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