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