david rovics - drink of the death squads lyrics
coca-cola came to colombia
seeking lower wages
they got just what they came for
but as we turn the pages
we find the workers didn’t like the sound
of their children’s hungry cries
so they said we’ll join the union
and they began to organize
so c-ke called up a terrorist group
called the auc
they said “we’ve got some problems
at the factory”
so these thugs went to the plant
killed two union men
told the rest, “you leave the union
or we’ll be back again”
now c-ke did not complain
about this dirty deed
why give workers higher wages
when c-ke is all they really need
they phoned the auc
said “thanks, without you we’d go broke
and to show our appreciation
here’s one hundred cases of c-ke”
(chorus)
the baby drinks it in his bottle
when the water ain’t no good
the dog drinks it
but he don’t know if he should
some folks say
it’s the nectar of the gods
but c-ke is the drink of the death squads
well the workers wouldn’t take
this situation lying down
some went up to georgia
said “look what’s happened to our town
you american workers got downsized
and as for us we just get shot
and those of us who survive
our teeth begin to rot”
(chorus)
well now that’s the situation
what are you gonna do
’cause death squads run colombia
and they’re paid by me and you
we can let c-ke run the world
and see what future that will bring
or we can drink juice and smash the state
now that’s the real thing
(chorus)
