lyrics

OVERSEAS

overseas they say the latest enterprise is doing well
we spread the opportunity to those who had no dreams to sell
protected by our forces their resources almost cover costs
our leading brand of helping hand will turn a profit from a loss

heres the global gift we made from all you gave us yesterday
in blood and sweat it's history's updated trade in misery
heres our god our fizzy drink our popstars and our IMF
here's the cash to pay for us to bleed you til there's nothing left

overseas its where the money flows
we watch the profits grow
that's all we need to know

overseas they say the water flows in every person's home
and people eat so much they think of us as merely skin and bone
mesmerized not by the sky but daily tales of war and crime
they classify the poor as those who can't afford the latest clothes

no pictures here to tap imagination's sympathetic side
the skeletal remains of cultures branded and dehumanised
so take this bleeding whine to drink your lack of health from plastic cups
as thirst and hunger search for dreamless sleep before the sun comes up

overseas its where the water flows
in every person's home
i guess we'll never know
