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

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

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.

about

Economix & Politrix is a 4 track EP by Manu Song & The Eco Reggae Experience introducing new songs from a collection of compositions called ‘Songs For People & Planet’.

In these compositions, Manu turns his attention from his recently recorded Peace Songs and is raising his voice in the spirit of peaceful protest as a response to the ongoing economic crisis and the rampant economic system ravaging the lives and well being of People and Planet and leading us head on into a world of unimaginable hardship and suffering.

The call to our political leaders, to the super rich and to the corporations, who, for grotesque financial gain, are knowingly driving us at full speed towards the precipice is :

"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.

Let's get together if we care, for the truth is hard to bear. If we don't dare!"
