作曲 : Bragg | |
I grew up in a company town | |
And I worked real hard ‘'til that company closed down | |
They gave my job to another man | |
On half my wages in some foreign land | |
And when I asked how could this be | |
Any good for our economy? | |
I was told nobody cares | |
So long as they make money when they sell their shares | |
Can you hear us? Are you listening? | |
No power without accountability! | |
I lost my job, my car and my house | |
When ten thousand miles away some guy clicked on a mouse | |
He didn't know me, we never spoke, | |
He didn't ask my opinion or canvass for my vote | |
I guess its true, nobody cares | |
'Til those petrol bombs come spinning through the air | |
Gotta find a way to hold them to account | |
Before they find a away to snuff our voices out | |
Can you hear us? Are you listening? | |
No power without accountability! | |
The ballot box is no guarantee that we achieve democracy | |
Our leaders claim their victory when only half the people have spoken | |
We have no job security in this global economy, | |
Our borders closed to refugees but our markets forced open | |
The World Bank says to Mexico, | |
We'll cut you off if you don't keep your taxes low | |
But they have no right to wield that sword | |
‘Cos they take their orders from the chairman of the board | |
IMF, WTO, | |
I hear these words just every place I go | |
Who are these people? Who elected them? | |
And how do I replace them with some of my friends? | |
Can you hear us? Are you listening? | |
No power without accountability! |
