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