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