Lyrics
Short term gain for long term pain and suffering for millions
Short term gain for long term pain and suffering for billions
We don’t want no more economic weapons of massive destruction
Let them not be used against us in the name of peace
We don’t want no more economic weapons of massive destruction
Let them not be used against us in the name of democracy
By the government side kicks, the leaders of new tricks
The founders of undemocratic politics
In the name of peace war on the back of the poor
The corporate policies that make the rich super rich
Short term gain for long term pain and suffering for millions
Short term gain for long term pain and suffering for billions
We are more than just a number. Our lives worth more than GNP
We are more than just an image on a T.V. screen
We are more than just a number. Our lives worth more than GNP
We are more than just an image on a T.V. screen
In the name of peace war on the back of the poor
The corporate policies that make the rich super rich
In the name of peace war on the back of the poor
The Government poli-tricks that take from the poor and give to the rich
Short term gain for long term pain and suffering for billions
They’re dropping bombs of economic massive destruction
Let them not be used against us in the name of peace
They’re dropping bombs of economic massive destruction
Let them not be used against us by the leaders of the world
No more short term gain for long term pain and suffering for millions
No more short term gain for long term pain and suffering for billions
We are more than just a number. Our lives worth more than GNP
We are more than just an image on a T.V. screen
We are more than just a number. Our lives worth more than GNP
We are more than just an image on a T.V. screen

Lyrics
In North America. In Austrailia
In South America, In Europe and Africa
In Antarctica. Ina Asia, and from the moon to the deepest sea
The Corporation’s taking over paradise
The business men are stealing all the land
And it comes as no surprise that behind the many lies
They are making wars they hope will never end
The Corporation’s taking over Downing street
Now they’re gambling the houses of my friends
That casino in the sky is gonna run us dry
I wonder where this all is gonna end
Let’s get together if we care
For the truth is hard to bare
If we don’t dare
Let’s get together if we care
For the truth is hard to bear
If we don’t dare
The Corporation’s messing with the food we eat
It is taking over farming of the land
As the cost of living rises, life is full of new surprises
And a business plan that no one understands
While the Governments hold hands with their Corporate friends
The people are getting poorer all over the land
Now the people are wise to the Corporate crimes
We the people got to make a stand
Let’s get together if we care
For the truth is hard to bear
If we don’t dare
Let’s get together if we care
For the truth is hard to bear
If we don’t dare
Let’s get together with our heart and soul
There’s a new story to be told
Let’s get together
Let’s get together with our heart and soul
Whether you’re young or old
Let’s get together
Let’s get together with our heart and soul
We’re coming in from the cold
Let’s get together
Let’s get together with our heart and soul
There’s a new story to be told
Let’s get together
In North America. Let’s get together
In Austrailia
In South America, Ina Africa
Ina Europe. In Antarctica.
Ina Asia. Free from Corporate greed
Free from Corporate greed
Free from Corporate greed
Let’s get together
Let’s get together

PUT YOUR TRUST IN ME

Lyrics
On the Altar of Consumerism
There are gifts for you to choose
Shinny, bright, and Golden
Plastic wrapped and new
Buy this one, then buy that one
Buy, this one, after that
If it don’t give your life new meaning
You won’t get your money back
Gimme all your money. Put your trust in me
You gotta keep your eyes on the T.V. screen
Gimme all your money. Put your trust in me
You gotta keep believing in our Corporate dream
All night long we’re open
Or you can find us on the net
And if you haven’t got much time
You can always buy from us on line
You can see our latest offer
And our brand new model too
Coz we really like to say
This one’s right for you
Gimme all your money. Put your trust in me
You gotta keep your eyes on the T.V. screen
Gimme all your money. Put your trust in me
You gotta keep believing in our Corporate dream
Time is running out now
Quick, you gotta buy
We all know it won’t be long
Before the planet fries
It always was a fleeting chance
A passing fad that never lasts
But if you’re buying two today
The price of one, you’ll have to pay
Come and buy our rubbish
Give us all your cash
Or you can pay with plastic
And we’ll add it to our stash
Come and buy our latest model
Come and buy our tat
It’s all made of plastic
And we sell it buy the sack
All you gotta do is keep your eye on the T.V.
You can be a player in our corporate dream
You can be a big shot if you work hard like me
Gimme all your money, put your trust in me.
Gimme all your money, put your trust in me.
Gimme all your money, put your trust in me.
We’re a bunch of bankers. What a bloody joke
We’re all getting richer. While you’re going broke
We’re a bunch of bankers. Got an off shore stash
Once we own the planet. You’ll never get it back.
Gimme all your money. Put your trust in me
You gotta keep your eyes on the T.V. screen
Gimme all your money. Put your trust in me
You gotta keep believing in our Corporate dream
Gimme all your money. Put your trust in me
Our new world order will set you free
Gimme all your money. Put your trust in me
It ain’t a con trick, it’s a ponzy scheme
Put your trust in me
Put your trust in me
Put your trust in me
Put your trust, in me

COMIN UP FROM THE STREET

Lyrics
We’re coming up from the street, moving onwards
We are rising with the times, cost of living is high
Let’s keep our feet firm on the ground while the world is quaking
We pray it won’t be long, till the hard times pass by
For our mothers and fathers. One love
For our brothers and sisters. One heart
For our friends, and our neighbours. One spirit
For all people just like you and me. One destiny
For all of the children. One people
For all of their futures. One World
Let’s get together - One spirit - For our humanity
Oh we’re rocking to the beat, We’re coming up from the street
We are millions strong, and we’re singing a new song
Oh we’re rocking to the beat, and we are firm on our feet
We are millions strong, and we’ve got to sing our song
We are mothers and fathers. One love
We are brothers and sisters. One heart
We are friends, we are neighbours. One spirit
And we wanna see the people free. One destiny
We’re not the enemy. One people
Cause we fear for our future. One World
We’re not the problem - One spirit
Cause we care about humanity
While the world is shaking, like a shifting paradigm
And the people and the planet are fighting for life
While the world is quaking in front of our eyes
We’re trying to keep on the bright side of life
Through the challenges of life I put my faith in love
To help me to be at peace with the mind
While the world is changing in front of our eyes
We gotta keep on the right side of life
Let’s get more of what we want.
We want love
Let’s get more of want we need.
We need peace
For all mothers and fathers. One love
For all brothers and sisters. One heart
For our friends and our neighbours. One spirit
For all people just like you and me. One destiny
For all of the children. One people
For all of their futures. One world
Let’s get together. One spirit. For our humanity
Let’s get together. One Love.
In the name of love. One world
Let’s get together. To keep our spirit’s strong
Let’s get together. So we can ride the storm
Let’s get together.
