D A D A
The world was stripped of beauty baby
By the working man
He was told it was his duty baby
Again and again and again
They took the slaves from Africa baby
Along with sugar sacks
To build the British Empire baby
And break everybody's back
CHORUS
E A E A
Hey hey slash and burn
Hey hey slash and burn
E A D E
Hey hey slash and burn T
Hat's how they feed the world
They burned the mighty rain forest
The Howler Monkeys screamed
They turned it into burgers
For the monkeys on the street
The paths were forged with promise
Hung up like jewels and gold
While Atlas the Adonis
Was holding up the globe
CHORUS
Hey hey slash and burn
Hey hey slash and burn
Hey hey slash and burn
That's how they feed the world
E A
That's how they feed the world (then)
America is a car park
London is a dump
China's for the Chinese
Russia is for chumps
Criminals were elected
To divide the world
For every head a bullet
For every swine a pearl (then)
REPEAT CHORUS (twice)
The world was stripped of beauty baby
By the working man
He was told it was his duty baby
Again and again and again
They took the slaves from Africa baby
Along with sugar sacks
To build the British Empire baby
And break everybody's back
CHORUS
E A E A
Hey hey slash and burn
Hey hey slash and burn
E A D E
Hey hey slash and burn T
Hat's how they feed the world
They burned the mighty rain forest
The Howler Monkeys screamed
They turned it into burgers
For the monkeys on the street
The paths were forged with promise
Hung up like jewels and gold
While Atlas the Adonis
Was holding up the globe
CHORUS
Hey hey slash and burn
Hey hey slash and burn
Hey hey slash and burn
That's how they feed the world
E A
That's how they feed the world (then)
America is a car park
London is a dump
China's for the Chinese
Russia is for chumps
Criminals were elected
To divide the world
For every head a bullet
For every swine a pearl (then)
REPEAT CHORUS (twice)
