Intro
(Just Drums)
[Verse]
A G F#m
The first world's got greedy, we're consuming it all
A F#m
The third world's got hunger and military control
F#m
This unequal balance is a master plan
A G F#m
One gets rich from the other's land
A G F#m A
F#m A G
They've got it all worked out
G A G F#m
and we give our consent
[Verse]
A G F#m
They've got it all worked out for Central America
A F#m
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
E G
Build a cycle of dependence on a starvation-diet
A B
With food as a weapon, workers stay quiet
[Verse]
E D
And multinational names have blood on their brands
E 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 E A D E A
D E A D E A
D E A D E A
[Verse]
A D
We are not isolated by distance
E A E D
But by greed and our racist history
E A E
Just a wall's width away
D E
Still impossible to see across
A E D
This space in front on me
[Bridge]
E A E
It's we who write this history
D E
We who guard the money-tree
A E
We support the companies
D E
We stole the colonies
A D E A E D
[Refrain]
A E
And when the system starts to crack
D E
We'll have to ready to give it all back
A E
And when the system starts to crack
D E
We'll have to ready to give it all back
A E
And when the system starts to crack
D E
We'll have to ready to give it all back
A Ab G F#m
[Bridge]
A Abm G F#m
See the space which lies between the rich and the poor
A Abm G F#m
How the space increases as we keep on taking more
A Ab G F#m
Keeping that space between us all
A Ab G F#m
Is how the west can keep control...
[Instrumental]
A Ab G F#m
A Ab G F#m
[Verse]
A Ab
With a mission and a chequebook promising aid
G F#m
Posing for the camera the United Nations man came
A Ab
He talked of control and the terrible drought
G F#m
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
E G
Col Sanders has an empire behind his smile
E A
Back up the investments with a military regime
E G
Then cleverly say: "It's to keep the world free!"
[Instrumental]
A Ab G F#m
A Ab G F#m
[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 Ab F#m
We've got to see through the wrapping on the high street
A
Past barriers of culture that dictate our lives
A F#m
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 E
And you Bosses of Companies...
[Outro]
Bm Gm
And the cycle of hungry children
F#m Bm A G F#m Bm A
Will keep on going round
Bm G F#m Bm
Until we burn the multinationals to the ground
A#m Ab D
