Here in the first world we live our lives without concern for others and no regrets
|
We keep the third world dependent upon us submissive and docile and in our debt
|
we wear the smile of the humanitarian as we call for their subversion under our breath
|
we pledge our assistance while we covet their resources because our standard of living demands their death
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
We ride on the backs of brutal dictators
|
we fuel our economy with third world blood
|
we gorge ourselves on the spoils of cash crops
|
we fuel our economy with third world blood
|
we fill our gas tanks with stolen oil
|
we fuel our economy with third world blood
|
we take that which we want under the threat of war
|
we fuel our economy with third world blood
|
|
We annex their land, we bleed them dry
|
we repress their wages and keep them working for shit
|
we align ourselves with the oppressive regimes
|
who see to it that their people submit
|
we line our pockets from slave labor
|
the age old industry of economic oppression
|
has made us the richest country on earth
|
because our wealth demands their exploitation
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Without any American interference they would have the possibility for a better existence
|
safe from the looting of the capitalist empire because their survival demands our absence
|
we mold the market, we manipulate trade, we create the conditions for our own benefit
|
that's the reality behind our third world interest because our involvement demands a profit
|
|
[Chorus]
