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