D A D A
|
The world was stripped of beauty baby By the working man
|
He was told it was his duty baby Again and again and again
|
They took the slaves from Africa baby Along with sugar sacks
|
To build the British Empire baby And break everybody's back
|
|
CHORUS
|
E A E A
|
Hey hey slash and burn Hey hey slash and burn
|
E A D E
|
Hey hey slash and burn That's how they feed the world
|
|
They burned the mighty rain forest The Howler Monkeys screamed
|
They turned it into burgers For the monkeys on the street
|
The paths were forged with promise Hung up like jewels and gold
|
While Atlas the Adonis Was holding up the globe
|
|
CHORUS
|
Hey hey slash and burn Hey hey slash and burn
|
Hey hey slash and burn That's how they feed the world
|
E A
|
That's how they feed the world (then) Instrumental
|
|
America is a car park London is a dump
|
China's for the Chinese Russia is for chumps
|
Criminals were elected To divide the world
|
For every head a bullet For every swine a pearl (then) REPEAT CHORUS (twice)
