Graham Parker - Slash And Burn lyrics

pre> D a d a The world was stripped of beauty baby by the working man He was told it was his duty baby again and again and again They took the slaves from africa baby along with sugar sacks To build the british empire baby and break everybody's back Chorus E a e a Hey hey slash and burn hey hey slash and burn E a d e Hey hey slash and burn that's how they feed the world They burned the mighty rain forest the howler monkeys screamed They turned it into burgers for the monkeys on the street The paths were forged with promise hung up like j**els and gold While atlas the adonis was holding up the globe Chorus Hey hey slash and burn hey hey slash and burn Hey hey slash and burn that's how they feed the world E a That's how they feed the world (then) instrumental America is a car park london is a dump China's for the chinese russia is for chumps Criminals were elected to divide the world For every head a bullet for every swine a pearl (then) repeat chorus (twice) /pre>
