Invasion

D                                 
The first world's got greedy, 
  C            Bm
we're consuming it all
D                              
The third world's got hunger and 
           Bm
military control
Bm
This unequal balance is a master 
plan
D                      C       Bm
One gets rich from the other's land
D C Bm D
Bm             D          C
They've got it all worked out
C               D         C Bm
and we give our consent

[Verse]
D                                 
They've got it all worked out for 
C       Bm
Central America
D                                 
They've got it all worked out for 
Bm
Africa
D
And in our naivety we believe myths 
and overconsume
D
And give them our consent
D
Dying in the shadow of the USA
D
"Let them eat bullshit, make the 
land pay"
D                         C
Make a fast deal with the local 
elite
D
Then substitute cash-crops where 
once grew wheat
A                              
Build a cycle of dependence on a 
   C
starvation-diet
D                      E
With food as a weapon, workers stay 
quiet

[Verse]
A                            G
And multinational names have blood 
on their brands
A                          G
From taking an interest in misused 
lands
D                       G
Del Monte, Tate & Lyle, Ralston 
Purina
D
Coca-Cola, RTZ, and Unilever
D
All packaging lifestyles for the 
glamorous west
D
Expand the company, exploit the rest

D                       G
We are not isolated by distance
A      D             A           G
But by greed and our racist history
A      D             A
Just a wall's width away
G                   A
Still impossible to see across
D             A        G
This space in front on me

[Bridge]
A    D            A
It's we who write this history
G                A
We who guard the money-tree
D             A
We support the companies
G            A
We stole the colonies
D G A D A G

[Refrain]
D                              A
And when the system starts to crack
G                      A
We'll have to ready to give it all 
back
D                              A
And when the system starts to crack
G                      A
We'll have to ready to give it all 
back
D                              A
And when the system starts to crack
G                      A
We'll have to ready to give it all 
back

[Bridge]
D       Dbm                      
See the space which lies between 
    C            Bm
the rich and the poor
D       Dbm                   C 
How the space increases as we 
             Bm
keep on taking more
D       Db            C       Bm
Keeping that space between us all
D  Db               C    Bm
Is how the west can keep control...

[Verse]
D                               
With a mission and a chequebook 
Db
promising aid
C                                
Posing for the camera the United 
Bm
Nations man came
D                          
He talked of control and the 
  Db
terrible drought
C                               
And the way that the west would bail
Bm
 them out
D                                 
They he stopped smiling and talked
  C
 conditions
D C
Of mutual aid; of American wishes
D
Sending in aid with sewn-on strings
D
If they won't buy arms - then it's 
pulled back in
D                  G
Feeding the world American style
A                                 
Col Sanders has an empire behind 
   C
his smile
A                            
Back up the investments with a 
  D
military regime
A                   C
Then cleverly say: "It's to keep the
 world free!"

[Verse]
D
But the multinational myths are 
beginning to fall
D
The poor don't want aid, they want 
control
D
And if we really want to see the 
Third World eat
D                          
We've got to see through the 
  Db                   Bm
wrapping on the high street
D
Past barriers of culture that 
dictate our lives
D                                 
We're busy consuming as the other 
      Bm
half dies
D
And the answer's not a question on 
charity -
D
Not whilst profit's still the top 
priority -
D
So let the glossy shop-fronts know 
what to expect
D                  A
And you Bosses of Companies...

And the cycle of hungry children

Will keep on going round
