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