Call It Democracy by Bruce Cockburn
March 20, 2008
Bruce gets it and he wrote a song called "Call It Democracy" about the IMF horror show. I love this song. I don't know if he gets the whole agenda but he definitely understands the role of the IMF in destroying the third world (soon to be the first world - yah that's you - sorry I can't help myself, I have a compulsive desire to warn people - buy gold - buy silver - buy food - learn how to garden - learn how to survive a catastrophe - OK that's enough for now). Oh, and I forget to mention that democracy is a sham - it's a fake right left paradigm, Hegelian dialectic in action - just a show for the public to make them think they have a say in things. What a joke! We have a say in nothing. Which corrupt multimillionaire would you like to elect as Prime Minister - give me a break.

Here are the lyrics...
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 fuck
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
