[Verse 1]
Dsus2 D5
Padded with power here they come
E7sus Gsus
International loan sharks backed by the guns
Dsus2 D5
Of market hungry military profiteers
E7sus Gsus
Whose word is a swamp and whose brow is smeared
Dsus2 D5
With the blood of the poor
E7sus Gsus
Dsus2 D5
Who rob life of its quality
E7sus Gsus
Who render rage a necessity
Dsus2 D5
By turning countries into labour camps
E7sus Gsus
Modern slavers in drag
Dsus2 D5
as champions of freedom
E7sus Gsus
Dsus2 D5
Sinister cynical instrument
E7sus Gsus
Who makes the gun into a sacrament --
Dsus2 D5
The only response to the deification
E7sus Gsus
Of tyranny by so-called "developed" nations'
Dsus2 D5
Idolatry of ideology
E7sus Gsus
Dsus2 D5
North south east west
E7sus Gsus
Kill the best and buy the rest
Dsus2 D5
It's just spend a buck to make a buck
E7sus Gsus
You don't really give a flying fuck
Dsus2 D5
About the people in misery
