Legal Theft Lyrics

They're cutting your wages
Putting you deeper in the hole
In the long down race to the bottom
On the Fast Track for control
They're marketing the water
Getting profit from the sink
Privatizing basic needs
Now you can't afford a drink

[Chorus:]
This isn't trade, this is slavery
Subsidizing wealth with poverty

They're tearing the land apart
Loading forests into trains
Justifying long-term devastation
For short-term gains
They're hiking medicine prices
Yet the pharmacy stacked
Patenting local plants
And making people buy them back

[Chorus]

They're making people servants
Locking them in debt
Stealing their resources
With military threats
They'll buy and sell this whole world
With the dollars they possess
By the time they finish profiting
There won't be nothing left

[Chorus]

There ain't no end to this bloody chain
Of poverty and debt
They call it free trade
I call it legal theft
Manifest destiny
The invisible fist of greed
Searching for open-markets
To plant the poison seed
