《Colour Line》歌词

[00:00:02] Today the Colour Line/Is the Power Line/Is the Poverty Line

[00:00:40] Racism and imperialism work in tandem

[00:00:44] And poverty is their handmaiden

[00:01:03] Those who are poor and powerless to break out of their poverty

[00:01:06] Are also those who by and large are non-white non-western third world

[00:01:11] Poverty and powerlessness are interwined in colour in race

[00:01:17] Discrimination and exploitation feed into each other today

[00:01:22] Under global capitalism

[00:01:36] We are back to primitive accumulation - plunder on a world scale

[00:01:42] Only this time the pillage is accompanied by aid sustained by expert

[00:01:48] Advice and underpinned by programmes and policies that perpetuate dependency

[00:01:54] The IMF The World Bank Structural Adjustment Programmes

[00:01:59] General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade - GATT

[00:02:02] Are just a few of the organisations schemes projects

[00:02:06] Which under the guise of developing the third world plunder it

[00:02:27] Trade agreements and commodity price-fixing patents and

[00:02:32] Intellectual property rights

[00:02:35] They lock them into paralytic dependency

[00:03:07] There's no such thing as illegal immigrants only illegal

[00:03:11] Governments

[00:03:17] Black is not just the colour of our skins

[00:03:25] It's the colour of our politics

[00:03:28] There's no such thing as illegal immigrants only illegal

[00:03:31] Governments

[00:03:41] Today the colour line/is the power line/is the poverty line
