Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I grew up in a company town And I worked real hard ''til that company closed down They gave my job to another man On half my wages in some foreign land And when I asked how could this be Any good for our economy? I was told nobody cares So long as they make money when they sell their shares Can you hear us? Are you listening? No power without accountability! I lost my job, my car and my house When ten thousand miles away some guy clicked on a mouse He didn't know me, we never spoke, He didn't ask my opinion or canvass for my vote I guess its true, nobody cares 'Til those petrol bombs come spinning through the air Gotta find a way to hold them to account Before they find a away to snuff our voices out Can you hear us? Are you listening? No power without accountability! The ballot box is no guarantee that we achieve democracy Our leaders claim their victory when only half the people have spoken We have no job security in this global economy, Our borders closed to refugees but our markets forced open The World Bank says to Mexico, We'll cut you off if you don't keep your taxes low But they have no right to wield that sword 'Cos they take their orders from the chairman of the board I-M-F, W-T-O, I hear these words just every place I go Who are these people? Who elected them? And how do I replace them with some of my friends? Can you hear us? Are you listening? No power without accountability!
