Here in the first world we live our lives
With no concern for others and no regrets
We keep the third world dependent upon us
Submissive and docile and in our debt
We wear the smile of the humanitarian
As we call for their subversion under our breath
We pledge our assistance while we covet their resources
Because our standard of living demands their death
We ride on the backs of brutal dictators
We fuel our economy with third world blood
We gorge ourselves on the spoils of cash crops
We fuel our economy with third world blood
We fill our gas tanks with stolen oil
We fuel our economy with third world blood
We take what we want under the threat of war
We fuel our economy with third world blood
We annex their land, we bleed them dry
We repress their wages and keep them working for shit
We align ourselves with the oppressive regimes
Who see to it that their people submit
We line our pockets from slave labor
The age-old industry of economic oppression
Has made us the richest country on earth
Because our wealth demands their exploitation
We ride on the backs of brutal dictators
We fuel our economy with third world blood
We gorge ourselves on the spoils of cash crops
We fuel our economy with third world blood
We fill our gas tanks with stolen oil
We fuel our economy with third world blood
We take what we want under the threat of war
We fuel our economy with third world blood
Without any American interference
They would have the possibility for a better existence
Safe from the looting of the capitalist empire
Because their survival demands our absence
We mold the market, we manipulate trade
We create the conditions for our own benefit
That’s the reality behind our third world interest
Because our involvement demands a profit
We ride on the backs of brutal dictators
We fuel our economy with third world blood
We gorge ourselves on the spoils of cash crops
We fuel our economy with third world blood
We fill our gas tanks with stolen oil
We fuel our economy with third world blood
We take what we want under the threat of war
We fuel our economy with third world blood
