Third World Blood

Here in the first world we live our lives

With no concern for others and no regrets

We keep the third world dependent upon us

Submissive and docile and in our debt

We wear the smile of the humanitarian

As we call for their subversion under our breath

We pledge our assistance while we covet their resources

Because our standard of living demands their death

We ride on the backs of brutal dictators

We fuel our economy with third world blood

We gorge ourselves on the spoils of cash crops

We fuel our economy with third world blood

We fill our gas tanks with stolen oil

We fuel our economy with third world blood

We take what we want under the threat of war

We fuel our economy with third world blood

We annex their land, we bleed them dry

We repress their wages and keep them working for shit

We align ourselves with the oppressive regimes

Who see to it that their people submit

We line our pockets from slave labor

The age-old industry of economic oppression

Has made us the richest country on earth

Because our wealth demands their exploitation

We ride on the backs of brutal dictators

We fuel our economy with third world blood

We gorge ourselves on the spoils of cash crops

We fuel our economy with third world blood

We fill our gas tanks with stolen oil

We fuel our economy with third world blood

We take what we want under the threat of war

We fuel our economy with third world blood

Without any American interference

They would have the possibility for a better existence

Safe from the looting of the capitalist empire

Because their survival demands our absence

We mold the market, we manipulate trade

We create the conditions for our own benefit

That's the reality behind our third world interest

Because our involvement demands a profit

We ride on the backs of brutal dictators

We fuel our economy with third world blood

We gorge ourselves on the spoils of cash crops

We fuel our economy with third world blood

We fill our gas tanks with stolen oil

We fuel our economy with third world blood

We take what we want under the threat of war

We fuel our economy with third world blood
