Aus-Rotten - The World Bank lyrics

Third world is plagued by poverty and
The World Bank is the cause
It's an instrument of
Transnational companies
To overule domestic laws
Serving merely as a weapon for
American foreign policy leverage
Starvation is considered an
Effective repayment incentive
The initiating step in
US planned destabilizaion
Is extorting money by economic manipulation
With World Bank interference
Development is prevented
Their actions differ greatly from
The compassionate image projected

Restructuring the world ecomomy is the
World Bank and the IMF
Benefitting the richest countries
While developing nations are bled to death

The third world is descended so deeply into
Debt that their economies can't function
The demand for outrageous interest force
These countries to increase production
Ecuador is forced to porduce more oil
To repay all it's debt
This strain upon the ecosystem's
An environmental threat
Rainforests have been ravished for
Iron smelting in Brazil
Ten million people have been forced from
The lands the World Bank steal
While structural adjustment programs have
Pushed Peru into poverty
Many African nations suffer
From extreme austerity

Restructuring the world ecomomy is the
World Bank and the IMF
Benefitting the richest countries
While developing nations are bled to death

Restructuring the world ecomomy is the
World Bank and the IMF
Benefitting the richest countries
While developing nations are bled to death

Establishing puppet dictators whose
Actions are devestating
The world economists line their pockets with
The regimes that they're creating
They're the power watchdog security guarding
Where first world interests lie
They've sold their farmlands to cash crop
Companies and let their populations die
They slash and burn the rainforests
Or build another dam
They systematically drive the indigenous
People off their land
They've paved the way for industry
To legally seize resources
By imposing the political policies
Their leashed tyrant enforces

Restructuring the world ecomomy is the
World Bank and the IMF
Benefitting the richest countries
While developing nations are bled to death

Restructuring the world ecomomy is the
World Bank and the IMF
Benefitting the richest countries
While developing nations are bled to death
