lyrics

No More Living In The Third World

You keep us in our places with your military might
Spend all our money and tell us that it’s right
This greedy business creeps into our lives
If you take it all how can we survive

It’s a matter of economy
Can’t you see, can’t you see

Oh, you don’t need it all
It’s a big mistake
If you had a heart
Well, you could stop the race
There’d be no more living in the third world

You think we should eat what you won’t eat yourself
Try strange new drugs, playing with our health
Defective genes, rejected lives
Deformed children play before our eyes

Do you need that car
Or that new TV?

You don’t need it all
It’s a big disgrace
If you had a heart
We could all keep pace
And there’d be no more living in the third world

Oh you level out our landscape, replace it with a void
Same with our hopes, our culture is destroyed
You direct the way we run our government
With the tried and true carrot and the stick

It’s just bribery,
Connivery, can’t you see

Oh, you don’t need it all
It’s a big mistake
If you had heart
We could all save face

You don’t need it all,
It’s a big mistake
If you had a heart
There’d be no more living in the third world

You don’t need it all,
It’s a big disgrace
If you had a heart
There’d be no more living in the third world

You don’t need it all,
It’s a big mistake
If you had a heart
There’d be no more living in the third world

You don’t need it all,
It’s a big disgrace
If you had a heart
There’d be no more living in the third world

You don’t need it all!!
