The Plunderers

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ozi Batla] Dear overseer It's ages since you graced my pages, but this shit goes in stages How the machine rages I've got a spanner for your works, whole patches of industry I've got no manners for you jerks, you wouldn't listen to me An eco-friendly emblem on a petrol station Like a fucking referendum for a queen without a nation Lies about land rights, build uranium mines, avoiding millions in tax, you've never paid a fine When, in the ear of our leaders, to start a war like that If we don't know who were fighting, well then we won't fight back So I'm calling you out to let you know we know Your branding shines like gold and hides the shit below Ever thought that's why Jordan is no politics major? Because he can't stand the thought of his slaves in Asia? Who puts a b-boy and a surfer in the same ad break? I beat the real thing, because it's so fucking fake He tells a pack of lies and then tries to murder the truth He's just the same two guys, who tell you all the news And who's that chimpanzee, straight out a western movie And here come little Johnny wanna be his deputy The world is cleft, you see, made to fight one another Economic big brother operating deep cover So I'm calling you out, to let you know we know Your branding shines like gold and hides the shit below [Verse 2: Urthboy] Because everything is really not okay Despite the forecast of another beautiful grey I mean a beautiful day, blessed with optimism A few more companies are killing off their competition Even blackouts couldn't make these devils stop and listen A rat race, that's disgraced and should not be forgiven It's not your pipe to piss in, so there's a price to pay Whilst burning, you'll be thinking about it everyday The gap gets greater, and so I'd watch your step Once slip and there goes your neck, sleep with a sweat There's too many now looking for your downfall In the eighties, all they thought about was how tall Could a corp climb higher than a star sign Make money, marry money and make more money Mankind suckered out like a bloodthirsty vampire They call you citizens upstanding, but we call you damn liars Image built brand empires all targets We'll boycott, attack and defame just for starters Press charges? And bring your lawyers to the table? But the tables are turning so get out while your able [Bridge: Urthboy, Ozi Batla] I love convenience I love corporations 'cause they give me convenience And- and I- I saw on the news that there's all these people trying to stop these corporations spread the convenience And that's, err, that's why we've got to help developing nations get their McDonald's, get their 7-Elevens They haven't even tasted the goodness yet, man [Verse 3: Urthboy, Ozi Batla] Whilst ever there's oppression, up will rise dissent Seen through every century, the anger finds a vent US forces, just like WWF Iraq's getting body-slammed by George W.'s best Keep pushing 'til the point comes where the people have had enough And disillusion cause of deals that are struck or are corrupt Can't trust a cop, a politician or a TV set Now everyone's upset And yet they still forget Forget facts Remember brands We get jacked But by their hand The media is on crack And hide our heads in the sand Now every woman and man Sing your favourite theme song That catchy jingle Opposite to what really goes on Our movement's strong We're going from strength to strength Your fradulant future's something that we can prevent We've come to cause a dissonance within your picket fence If you still say dismissing your staff's good business sense More protesters will die As more companies collapse So we're questioning the false wisdom lying behind that [Outro: Ozi Batla & Urthboy] Shout to the people to stand against this crap And revolutionaries who act with beats and raps
