Intro
(Just Drums)
[Verse]
G F Em
The first world's got greedy, we're consuming it all
G Em
The third world's got hunger and military control
Em
This unequal balance is a master plan
G F Em
One gets rich from the other's land
G F Em G
Em G F
They've got it all worked out
F G F Em
and we give our consent
[Verse]
G F Em
They've got it all worked out for Central America
G Em
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
[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 Gb F Em
[Bridge]
G Gbm F Em
See the space which lies between the rich and the poor
G Gbm F Em
How the space increases as we keep on taking more
G Gb F Em
Keeping that space between us all
G Gb F Em
Is how the west can keep control...
[Instrumental]
G Gb F Em
G Gb F Em
[Verse]
G Gb
With a mission and a chequebook promising aid
F Em
Posing for the camera the United Nations man came
G Gb
He talked of control and the terrible drought
F Em
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 Gb F Em
G Gb F Em
[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 Gb Em
We've got to see through the wrapping on the high street
G
Past barriers of culture that dictate our lives
G Em
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]
Am Fm
And the cycle of hungry children
Em Am G F Em Am G
Will keep on going round
Am F Em Am
Until we burn the multinationals to the ground
Abm Gb D
