[00:00.00] 作词 : Bruce Cockburn
[00:00.00] 作曲 : Bruce Cockburn
[00:00.00] padded with power here they come
[00:49.38]international loan sharks backed by the guns
[00:52.41]of market hungry military profiteers
[00:55.53]whose word is a swamp and whose brow is smeared
[00:58.41]with the blood of the poor
[01:04.38]who rob life of its quality
[01:07.62]who render rage a necessity
[01:10.68]by turning countries into labour camps
[01:13.89]modern slavers in drag as champions of freedom
[01:29.04]sinister cynical instrument
[01:31.83]who makes the gun into a sacrament --
[01:35.07]the only response to the deification
[01:37.95]of tyranny by so-called "developed" nations'
[01:41.01]idolatry of ideology
[01:47.46]north south east west
[01:50.82]kill the best and buy the rest
[01:53.10]it's just spend a buck to make a buck
[01:56.76]You don't really give a flying shit
[01:59.07]about the people in misery
[02:06.96]IMF dirty MF
[02:08.76]takes away everything it can get
[02:11.82]always making certain that there's one thing left
[02:14.85]keep them on the hook with insupportable debt
[02:29.64]see the paid-off local bottom feeders
[02:33.18]passing themselves off as leaders
[02:36.54]kiss the ladies shake hands with the fellows
[02:39.48]open for business like a cheap bordello
[02:42.06]and they call it democracy
[02:44.97]and they call it democracy
[02:48.03]and they call it democracy
[02:51.03]and they call it democracy
[02:53.94]see the loaded eyes of the children too
[02:57.30]trying to make the best of it the way kids do
[03:02.13]one day you're going to rise from your habitual feast
[03:03.18]to find yourself staring down the throat of the beast
[03:06.12]they call the revolution
[03:13.59]IMF dirty MF
[03:15.60]takes away everything it can get
[03:18.72]always making certain that there's one thing left

作词 : Bruce Cockburn
作曲 : Bruce Cockburn
padded with power here they come
international loan sharks backed by the guns
of market hungry military profiteers
whose word is a swamp and whose brow is smeared
with the blood of the poor
who rob life of its quality
who render rage a necessity
by turning countries into labour camps
modern slavers in drag as champions of freedom
sinister cynical instrument
who makes the gun into a sacrament --
the only response to the deification
of tyranny by so-called "developed" nations'
idolatry of ideology
north south east west
kill the best and buy the rest
it's just spend a buck to make a buck
You don't really give a flying shit
about the people in misery
IMF dirty MF
takes away everything it can get
always making certain that there's one thing left
keep them on the hook with insupportable debt
see the paid-off local bottom feeders
passing themselves off as leaders
kiss the ladies shake hands with the fellows
open for business like a cheap bordello
and they call it democracy
and they call it democracy
and they call it democracy
and they call it democracy
see the loaded eyes of the children too
trying to make the best of it the way kids do
one day you're going to rise from your habitual feast
to find yourself staring down the throat of the beast
they call the revolution
IMF dirty MF
takes away everything it can get
always making certain that there's one thing left
keep them on the hook with insupportable debt
