Lyrics
Modernisation (a New Form Of Slavery)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Day to day, impale their thoughts
Take a stage, for their applause
Lay down lies, piss on the truth
New form of slavery, U.S.-backed cagery
Modernisation, a new form of slavery
Haiti's the world's poorest country
In the western world
Yank profit preaching
The capitalistic word
1 percent of the people
Take 70 percent of the land
9 in 10 illiterate
No pedestal to take a stand
Under a dollar a day
Is the average pay
Half the children die
Before the age of five
Nicaragua, you must survive
It's a prey the eagle fears
When talons lash out
Who will hear the people's screams?
Since the U.S.A. ratified the putsch
Thousands of Haitians died in a daily exodus
Strikes against the law, a U.S. state of mind
Their only convern is power
Not hope for the human kind
