Bruce Cockburn with his song about the International Monetary Fund:
Padded with power here they come
International loan sharks backed by the guns
Of market hungry military profiteers
Whose word is a swamp and whose brow is smeared
With the blood of the poor
Who rob life of its quality
Who render rage a necessity
By turning countries into labour camps
Modern slavers in drag as champions of freedom
Sinister cynical instrument
Who makes the gun into a sacrament —
The only response to the deification
Of tyranny by so-called “developed” nations’
Idolatry of ideology
North South East West
Kill the best and buy the rest
It’s just spend a buck to make a buck
You don’t really give a flying f*ck
About the people in misery
IMF dirty MF
Takes away everything it can get
Always making certain that there’s one thing left
Keep them on the hook with insupportable debt
See the paid-off local bottom feeders
Passing themselves off as leaders
Kiss the ladies shake hands with the fellows
Open for business like a cheap bordello
And they call it democracy
And they call it democracy
And they call it democracy
And they call it democracy
See the loaded eyes of the children too
Trying to make the best of it the way kids do
One day you’re going to rise from your habitual feast
To find yourself staring down the throat of the beast
They call the revolution
IMF dirty MF
Takes away everything it can get
Always making certain that there’s one thing left
Keep them on the hook with insupportable debt
Susie-I love to hear/read you liberals complain about corporate money, and developed nations and their “robbing the poor”.
It would probably be a good idea to take a close look at Soros-the guy who funds your entire communist movement, and how he is robbing the homes of the “poor” by short-selling the entirety of Indymac’s loan portfolio…why is he doing it? To get rid of bad assets for the bank? NOPE-to get his 90% bail out from uncle sam on each and every loan. While you hippie douchebags complain about big business, capitalism, and exceptionalism, your funds come from the very source you cry over. You are a joke. By the way-great call on the Times Square bomber being a 40 year old white guy. Can you say eating crow? Egg on the face? Cat got your tongue? Your comeback was a complaint about everyone who is always quick to place blame. Does this quote remind you of anything?
“You know, I don’t want to jump to conclusions here, because that would make me too much like Matt Drudge. But if the car bomber was indeed a white guy in his 40s who didn’t know the difference between ammonium nitrate and plain old fertilizer, I’m thinking it’s gotta be a Beck Patriot who was trying to water the tree of liberty with… the blood of random Times Square tourists. . ”
You are such a tool-thanks for the continuous, unending, constant, blissful flow of psychotic rantings! You make me laugh every single day.
