IT MAKES ME LAUGH
Once more cold intellectuals
Show no sign of emotion
My voice seems so ineffectual
Just one more drop in the ocean
Key words like peace and freedom
Are cancelled by verbal violence
Anyone asking for a reason
Is answered by a conspiracy of silence
And it makes me laugh
Ah ha ha haaaa
Worshipping the faith of economists
Big business puts the squeeze on
Death to the military strategists
Is just the price of freedom
Rich nations shout encouragement
As the hit-squads kill and torture
Offering financial arrangements
Beneficial to the barons of slaughter
And it makes me laugh
Ah ha ha haaaa
Moneylenders demanding austerity
Turn the screws when times get hard
Shareholders guarantee prosperity
With the help of national guards
In the name of freedom and democracy
For the land of the good and brave
Double-thinking wielders of hypocrisy
Turn a blind eye to those enslaved
And it makes me laugh
Ah ha ha haaaa
