Let them eat money - Song for the G20. All sales donated to the Brisbane Sovereign Embassy.

lyrics

The circus is coming to town the rulers and their entourage of clowns
Preaching the neo liberal creed 20 kings and queens of greed
No voice in the score to represent the poor
So let them eat money

Like medieval lords hiding behind castle walls
In amour plated cars shadows behind black glass
Far from angry voice they won’t look into the faces
So let them eat money
For the 1% a party 99 % go hungry
So let them eat money

When talking to save the climate no deals can be found
But when it comes to saving banks billions of dollars fly around
Sacrifice the planet in the name of profit
So let them eat money

Team Australia is wiping up the fear its good for their career
Fighting another war same reason as before
You need to fear your neighbours while they are lowering your wages
So let them eat money
Keep refugees in prison while they strip back you conditions
So let them eat money

What they really fear is a global culture of resistance
People rising up against colonial persistence
Challenge to the system met with violence and repression
Media machine promotes despair and segregation
Global leaders celebrating power and control
Free market system corporations want your soul
Behind the smiles and handshakes war poverty disease
Until they own everything event the air we breathe

They meet on stolen land no treaty ever signed
A fire in Musgrave park a sovereign people light a spark
Resistance it continues they will never own our soul
So let them eat money
