Tom: D
D
Padded with power here they come
Em G
International loan sharks backed by the guns
D
Of market hungry military profiteers
Em G
Whose word is a swamp and whose brow is smeared
D Em G
With the blood of the poor
[Verse 2]
D
Who rob life of its quality
Em G
Who render rage a necessity
D
By turning countries into labour camps
Em G D Em G
Modern slavers in drag as champions of freedom
[Verse 3]
D
Sinister cynical instrument
Em G
Who makes the gun into a sacrament
D
The only response to the deification
Em G
Of tyranny by so-called "developed" nations'
D Em G
Idolatry of ideology
[Verse 4]
D
North south east west
Em G
Kill the best and buy the rest
D
It's just spend a buck to make a buck
Em G
You don't really give a flying fuck
D Em G
About the people in misery
[Chorus]
A
IMF dirty MF
A
Takes away everything it can get
A
Always making certain that there's one thing left
A D Em G D Em G
Keep them on the hook with insupportable debt
[Verse 5]
D
I see the paid-off local bottom feeders
Em G
Passing themselves off as leaders
D
Kiss the ladies shake hands with the fellows
Em G
And it's open for business like a cheap bordello
D Em G
And they call it democracy, and they call it democracy
D Em G
And they call it democracy, and they call it democracy
[Verse 6]
D
You see the loaded eyes of the children too
Em G
Trying to make the best of it the way kids do
D
One day you're going to rise from your habitual feast
Em G
To find yourself staring down the throat of the beast
D Em G
They call the revolution
[Chorus]
A
IMF dirty MF
A
Takes away everything it can get
A
Always making certain that there's one thing left
A D Em G
Keep them on the hook with insupportable debt.
D Em G
And they call it democracy, and they call it democracy
D Em G
And they call it democracy, and they call it democracy
D Em G
