Barbarism. - They Suffocate

The Washington consensus is a set of market principles
Designed by the USA and the global institutions that it dominates
These institutions implemented structural adjustment programs
On developing nations around the globe
Those programs opened up markets to international speculation
With protection of resources discouraged by coercion or force

Shanty towns
Suffocate
Shanty towns
Suffocate

We climbed the ladder
We pulled it up

Large firms chase labour costs across the globe
Shifting production to wherever wages and conditions can be driven down
Developed consumer economies depend on
The cheap extraction of natural resources
And the subjugation of billions of men, women, and children
Any attempt to divert from this system is met with sanctions, espionage, or war

Shanty towns
Suffocate
Shanty towns
Suffocate

Sickness spreads deep, a laceration
More pigs to feed destitution

Barbed wire
Loaded guns
Nets to catch you if you jump
Barbed wire
Loaded guns
Nets to catch you if you jump
Barbed wire
Loaded guns
Nets to catch you if you jump
Barbed wire
Loaded guns
Nets to catch you if you jump
