lirik lagu david rovics - tpp 101
free traders and traitors, bankers and thieves
are at it once again.
wto just didn’t cut it,
so now there’s no telling when.
they’ll p-ss this latest treaty,
from behind closed doors
and win another battle
in the transnational cl-ss wars.
they want fast track authority,
so they can get the job done right
by which they mean no discussion,
don’t even pretend to put up a fight
as they take from us our government’s ability to regulate
what happens within the borders
of what they used to call the state?
in what they used to call democracy
the idea that people have a say
in whether we should be building windmills
or franking our lives away
whether banking regulations
are a good idea or not.
whether the food on your kitchen table
comes from a monsanto plot
whether the poor should die.
or have affordable medication
whether human life is less important than your corporation.
whether this world is a commons or just a free trade bill
that we need about as much as we need another oil spill
so let’s do like we do in the wc
and flush the tpp!
they say it’ll help the economy
and they’ve said all that before
like when they implemented nafta in 1994
the us lost a million jobs,
of this there is no doubt
and in mexico, small farmers were almost completely wiped out
and when the refugees started streaming in
they were treated just like tools
in the great game of the oligarchs
the old divide and rule
just like jp morgan said,
‘why worry?’ he laughed
‘when i can pay half the working cl-ss to kill the other half?’
so let’s do like we do in the wc
and flush the tpp!
sopa, pipa, acta
they couldn’t get them p-ssed
so now they’ve snuck them all into tpp
try running that one up the masck
in the back rooms no one knows which corporation speaks
except when secret doc-ments get sent to wikileaks.
and it’s only from the whistleblowers we even know it’s there
one for asia, one for europe
free trade everywhere!
free trade, free pollution,
freedom for the billionaires
enslavement for the rest of us
but hey, they got theirs.
so let’s do like we do in the wc
and flush the tpp!
we do like we do in the wc
and flush the tpp!
