Intro
(Just Drums)
[Verse]
C A# Am
The first world's got greedy, we're consuming it all
C Am
The third world's got hunger and military control
Am
This unequal balance is a master plan
C A# Am
One gets rich from the other's land
C A# Am C
Am C A#
They've got it all worked out
A# C A# Am
and we give our consent
[Verse]
C A# Am
They've got it all worked out for Central America
C Am
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 A#
Make a fast deal with the local elite
C
Then substitute cash-crops where once grew wheat
G A#
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
[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 Cb A# Am
[Bridge]
C Cbm A# Am
See the space which lies between the rich and the poor
C Cbm A# Am
How the space increases as we keep on taking more
C Cb A# Am
Keeping that space between us all
C Cb A# Am
Is how the west can keep control...
[Instrumental]
C Cb A# Am
C Cb A# Am
[Verse]
C Cb
With a mission and a chequebook promising aid
A# Am
Posing for the camera the United Nations man came
C Cb
He talked of control and the terrible drought
A# Am
And the way that the west would bail them out
C A#
They he stopped smiling and talked conditions
C A#
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 A#
Col Sanders has an empire behind his smile
G C
Back up the investments with a military regime
G A#
Then cleverly say: "It's to keep the world free!"
[Instrumental]
C Cb A# Am
C Cb A# Am
[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 Cb Am
We've got to see through the wrapping on the high street
C
Past barriers of culture that dictate our lives
C Am
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]
Dm A#m
And the cycle of hungry children
Am Dm C A# Am Dm C
Will keep on going round
Dm A# Am Dm
Until we burn the multinationals to the ground
