THEY CALL IT DEMOCRACY by Bruce Cockburn (1985)

D
Padded with power here they come
Em                        G
International loan sharks backed by the guns
   D
Of market hungry military profiteers
      Em                        G
Whose word is a swamp and whose brow is smeared
         D                   Em  G
With the blood of the poor

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
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

Kill the best and buy the rest
It's just spend a buck to maHTTP/1.0 400 Cache Detected Error
