Legal Theft
They're cutting your wages Putting you deeper in the hole In the long down race to the bottom On the Fast Track for control They're marketing the water Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Getting profit from the sink Privatizing basic needs Now you can't afford a drink
[Chorus:] This isn't trade, this is slavery Subsidizing wealth with poverty
They're tearing the land apart Loading forests into trains Justifying long-term devastation For short-term gains They're hiking medicine prices Yet the pharmacy stacked Patenting local plants And making people buy them back
[Chorus]
They're making people servants Locking them in debt Stealing their resources With military threats They'll buy and sell this whole world With the dollars they possess By the time they finish profiting There won't be nothing left
[Chorus]
There ain't no end to this bloody chain Of poverty and debt They call it free trade I call it legal theft Manifest destiny The invisible fist of greed Searching for open-markets To plant the poison seed
