《Call It Democracy》歌词

[00:00:00] Call It Democracy - Bruce Cockburn

[00:00:14] Padded with power

[00:00:16] Here they come

[00:00:17] International loan sharks backed by the guns

[00:00:20] Of market hungry military profiteers

[00:00:23] Whose word is a swamp and whose brow is smeared

[00:00:26] With the blood of the poor

[00:00:32] Who rob life of it's quality

[00:00:35] Who render rage a necessity

[00:00:38] By turning countries into labour camps

[00:00:41] Modern slavers in drag as champions of freedom

[00:00:56] Sinister cynical instrument

[00:00:59] Who makes the gun into a sacrament

[00:01:02] The only response to the deification

[00:01:04] Of tyranny by so called developed nations'

[00:01:07] Idolatry of ideology

[00:01:14] North south east west

[00:01:17] Kill the best and buy the rest

[00:01:19] It's just

[00:01:20] Spend a buck to make a buck

[00:01:23] You don't really give a flying f**k

[00:01:25] About the people in misery

[00:01:32] Imf dirty mf

[00:01:35] Takes away everything it can get

[00:01:37] Always making certain that there's one thing left

[00:01:41] Keep them on the hook with insupportable debt

[00:01:55] See the paid off local bottom feeders

[00:01:59] Passing themselves off as leaders

[00:02:02] Kiss the ladies shake hands with the fellows

[00:02:05] Open for business like a cheap bordello

[00:02:07] And they call it democracy

[00:02:10] And they call it democracy

[00:02:13] And they call it democracy

[00:02:16] And they call it democracy

[00:02:19] See the loaded eyes of the children too

[00:02:22] Trying to make the best of it the way kids

[00:02:25] Do

[00:02:25] One day you're going to rise from your habitual feast

[00:02:28] To find yourself staring down the throat of the beast

[00:02:31] They call the revolution

[00:02:38] Imf dirty mf

[00:02:40] Takes away everything it can get

[00:02:43] Always making certain that there's one thing left

[00:02:46] Keep them on the hook with insupportable debt

[00:02:55] And they call it democracy

[00:03:01] And they call it democracy

[00:03:07] And they call it democracy

[00:03:13] And they call it democracy
