Intro

Verse 1

I grew up, in a company town

And I work a' hard til' the company closed down

They gave my job, to another man

On half my wages in some foreign land

And when I asked, how could that be, any good for our economy,

I was told, nobody cared, so long as they make money and they sell their shares

Chorus

Can you hear us, are you listening

There's no power without accountability

Verse 2

I lost my job, my car and my house

When 10,000 miles away some guy clicked on a mouse

He didn't know me, we never spoke

He didn't ask my opinion or canvas for my vote

I guess it's true,

Nobody cares until them petrol bombs come spinning through the air

Gotta find a way

to hold them to account before they find a way to snuff our voices out

Chorus

Verse 3

The ballot box is no garruntee, but we achieve democracy

Our leaders claim their victory

When only half the people've spoken

There is no job security, And this global economy

Our borders closed to refugees

Our markets forced to open

World banks is to Mexico

Well Crust Hoff if you don't keep them taxes low

Chorus

They have no right to wield that sword

They take orders from generals abroad

I am F, WTO I hear these words just to give the cops a go,

Who are those people, who elected them

And Why do I repeat them with some of my friends

Chorus x2

Repeat to fade

Sorry about the lyrics, but he murmurs on the live version it woz taken from.
