martyn joseph - call it democracy lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
two, three, four

[verse 1]
padded with power here they come
international loan sharks backed by the gun
market hungry military profiteers
whose word is a swamp and whose brow is smeared
with the blood of the poor

[verse 2]
who rob life of its quality
who render rage a necessity
by turning countries into labour camps
modern slavers in drag as champions of freedom

[verse 3]
sinister cynical instrument
who makes the gun into a sacrament—
the only response to the deification
of tyranny by so+called “developed” nations’
idolatry of ideology

[verse 4]
north, south, east, west
you k!ll thе best and you buy the rest
it’s just spеnd a buck to make a buck
you don’t really give a flying f+ck
about the people in misery
[bridge]
imf, dirty mf
takes away everything it can get
always making certain that there’s one thing left
keep them on the hook with insupportable debt

[verse 5]
you see the paid+off local bottom feeders
passing themselves off as leaders
it’s kiss the ladies, shake hands with the fellows
open for business like a cheap bordello

[chorus]
and they call it democracy
and they call it democracy

[verse 6]
see the loaded eyes of the children too
trying to make the best of things the way kids do
one day you’re gonna rise from your habitual feast
to find yourself staring down the throat of the beast
they call the revolution
it’s a glorious, peaceful revolution

[bridge]
and imf, dirty mf
takes away everything it can get
always making certain that there’s one thing left
keep them on the hook with insupportable debt
[chorus]
and they call it democracy
and we call it democracy
and they call this democracy
yeah
