They Call It Democracy

Bruce Cockburn

Tono:
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 Modern slavers in drag as
Em G 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 Keep them on the hook with
D Em G insupportable debt
D Em G [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 And it's open for business like a
G cheap bordello
D And they call it democracy, and
Em G they call it democracy
D And they call it democracy, and
Em G they call it democracy [Verse 6]
D You see the loaded eyes of the children too
Em Trying to make the best of it the
G way kids do
D One day you're going to rise from your habitual feast
Em To find yourself staring down the
G 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 Keep them on the hook with
D Em G insupportable debt.
D And they call it democracy, and
Em G they call it democracy
D And they call it democracy, and
Em G they call it democracy
