They Call It Democracy
Bruce Cockburn
D
(início)
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
Verse 2
D Who rob life of its quality Em G Who render rage a necessity D By turning countries into labour camps Em G D Em G Modern slavers in drag as champions of freedom
Verse 3
D Sinister cynical instrument Em G Who makes the gun into a sacrament D The only response to the deification Em G Of tyranny by so-called "developed" nations' D Em G Idolatry of ideology
Verse 4
D North south east west Em G Kill the best and buy the rest D It's just spend a buck to make a buck Em G You don't really give a flying fuck D Em G About the people in misery
Chorus
A IMF dirty MF A Takes away everything it can get A Always making certain that there's one thing left A D Em G D Em G Keep them on the hook with insupportable debt
Verse 5
D I see the paid-off local bottom feeders Em G Passing themselves off as leaders D Kiss the ladies shake hands with the fellows Em G And it's open for business like a cheap bordello D Em G And they call it democracy, and they call it democracy D Em G And they call it democracy, and they call it democracy
Verse 6
D You see the loaded eyes of the children too Em G Trying to make the best of it the way kids do D One day you're going to rise from your habitual feast Em G To find yourself staring down the throat of the beast D Em G They call the revolution
Chorus
A IMF dirty MF A Takes away everything it can get A Always making certain that there's one thing left A D Em G Keep them on the hook with insupportable debt. D Em G And they call it democracy, and they call it democracy D Em G And they call it democracy, and they call it democracy D Em G D Em G D Em G D Em G
