One cup of coffee, $1.50
Guy who picked the coffee
Didn’t get three
He’s stuck in the belly
Of an industry
That doesn’t care about people
Working on the hills
On stolen land
Picking at the earth
Through the scuff bare hands
Sweating for the profit of some rich man
Who doesn’t care about people
Buy a piece of fruit at the grocery store
Shipped from Guatemala, Chile or El Salvador
Grown by orphan children in the civil war
That was funded by fruit corporations
A global trade system
Riding on the backs
Of families packed in wall-less shacks
Living in the fear of death squad attacks
That are funded by fruit corporations
One pack of t-shirts, $4.50
Girl who sewed the t-shirts
Didn’t get three
She’s trying to survive in an industry
That doesn’t care about people
Bangladesh factories
16-hour shifts
No over-time breaks or benefits
And they’ll fire her if she gets pregnant
Because they don’t care about people
New York banks watched the Thai Baht grow
Then they took high ammounts in Thai Baht loans
Converted them to dollars when they got back home
And it put millions into poverty
They paid off their debts with U.S. cash
Pocketed the profits
In U.S. banks
And the south east asian market crashed
And it pull millions into poverty
One diamond ring, a few grand
Kid who mined the diamonds lost his hand
As a message from the soldiers who run the land
That are funded by diamond corporations
Wealth arrived through poverty
From the lingering cuts of slavery
In the form of an export economy
Controlled by diamond corporations
Imperialism in its modern form
Debt locked, free market, economic reform
Blowing through the global south like a tropical storm
Tearing at the scenes of culture
From the cluster bomb
To the rifle butt
From the gold mine
To the clear cut
Capitalism’s got the world locked up
And it’s tearing at the scenes of culture

i listin to this everyday when i get home. c:
anybody know the chords to this song? 🙂
It's impossible to use homophobic language in a 'progressive' way.
GREAT military? Mate, NO military is great. If you have to kill people with no second thoughts, you're a terrible person. If you're in a group that kills innocent people and creates orphans, you're just that much more sick. You say we have a "change of power". Take a look around, does anything in our government really change? It's just a change of make-up. Also, you just shouldn't start shit on how "great" america is in these videos; you're going to go down.
god bless capitalism, thanks chiquita, for bringing peace and stability to the region
@anarchismandpunk socialism is no better/worse than capitalism, i want to live on a commune farm, but not cause i'm a socialist, its my preference, i combine the best of anarcho-capitalism and anarcho communism in my critique of modern state corporatism
As long as you realize that the only way these bad actor corporations can act badly is through access to the levers of power through payoffs to the government. A true free market punishes bad actors.
@ArwenApathy how did juggalos come into this equation
Tearing at the SEAMS of culture..not "scenes" ^_^
This song is awesome what cd is it on?
@Libertarian333
if you do that occupying "unused" land, that's called squatting, or at the worst criminal trespassing, both of which are misdemeanors… almost every scrap of land in the US is either privately owned or government owned and if you don't have permission to live there then you're fucked
so get off your high horse or get permission or be prepared to pay a shit ton in fines
so where do you live? you show us a pic of a selfsufficient log cabin with you outside of it, i might listen
@Libertarian333
you'll still pay taxes on that little plot you own,,, that's how they get community gardens evicted in NYC,,, you don't own the land you're gonna get evicted… and even if you do own it, you gotta pay taxes so get off your hihgh horse or go live in the mountains
Modern slavery transcends race and creed and is now a mental state of depravity that allows the taskmaster control over the serfdom.
Can anyone please recommend to me some books or documentaries about the fruit corporations funding civil wars and the banks speculating on the Thai Baht that he mentions? This is a great song. Solidarity from Ireland, currently deep in the claws of an IMF structiral adjustment programme!
Well yes you said it all more or less
I kinda missed oil, did I?
@Spattinfire dude. i dont even remember this. i mustve been REALLY HIGH
@SirAwsomness If it was gay learn to respect and shut the fuck up you little cunt. If you don't like the genre don't listen.
@valkyrie1777 (cont'd) their living standards as corporations will be allowed to take their resources and after long enough periods of unemployment under a dismantaled social safety net, people in currently rich countires will work for low wages. But their is no austerity forces on banks – these nations still bail them out – no austerity amoung the leaders. We need to educate white people about what is happening so we can fight together – you have experience fighting, we can still afford guns.
@u2hubbard
You are right that for many years primarily white nations have sucked wealth and resources from the rest of the world. Many individuals is rich and poor countries fought against this, but not enough to stop it. However over the past couple decades the suction of wealth and resources has been shifting from poor-nations>rich-nations to most-of-the-world>a-few-heads-of-global-corporations-and-banks. When the financiers get nations into debt, they will force the population to reduce..

this video is fucking gay listen to dragonforce and neo nazi punk like me faggots
@ArwenApathy
Actually, have you listened to Miracles? I assume they are trying to send a positive message, but i don't think it works out in their favor at all. lol
@4u5t3n good point. Race doesn't really matter anymore.
I would also like to add, that while you were on this website you just supported those white devil corporations you hate so much
@u2hubbard-
I have a real problem with the way you separate race in your comment. " It's only an issue for me and others like myself", on top of this your separation of white people, saying that we allow all of this, you are the real problem with this planet. People like you who are still stuck in a segregated society and blame your problems on the people you don't like. Yes white people do own the businesses however, its not white people cutting off hands, or firing pregnant workers
Race is still part of it. But the white people who did create this system arnt the ones struggling from it. There the ones with all the benefits. Its all about money. Yes people are poor so just to get money they go to other countries and kill people. For money. Only. All supported by the goverment. They will attack any place they can to get what they want. They dont give a fuck about any poor man. Color doesnt matter. If you have money now in this society thats what makes you. Its pathetic.
And just to add to it, if White people struggle under the system they created it's not my issue. It's only a issue for me and others like myself because it effects Blacks and people of color harder. White people are the ones who allow the corporations and their governments to do what they do. Some claim to be poor but will kill people of color in foreign nations so an oil company could reap profits. Sure it effects all of us but Whites are the least effected and are in the middle of it.
Who are the heads of these governments and corporations that oppresses the people, and what color are the people that oppressed to the worst degree by this epidemic called globalism? Who got the most out of these injustices? White faces are at the head of it all and people of color are on the bottom of it. Accept it for what it is. Race has a component to it. I'm not blaming the White race for everything. But many are unaware of how they play a hand in it.
You dont own your own land in the u.s. either. Where ever you go someone will always own everything. You dont own the land you live on because even after you supposedly do your still paying to live on it and they can take it away whenever they want to. Its everywhere now.
Umm… no its not called white people? Its called the goverment? Its not about race anymore. Thats not what it comes down too. Peope really if your gonna listen to this amazing music PLEASE know what your talking about when you comment the videos. Its called the goverment. People who want money and power. They will get it anyway they can by making any race a slave to their laws… thats all they are working for.. getting you to work for them to make their country exactly how they want it.
