Capitalism can’t stay home

Capitalism must expropriate

Into the swamps and jungles

It sends it poor to conquer

The third world is not poor

The third world makes money

Most countries are rich

Only the people are poor

There’s billions to to be made

There’s billions for four hundred years

These countries are not underdeveloped

They are overexploited

The capitalist powers have carved out and taken

The timber, the flax, the hemp, the rum,

The cocoa, the tin, the iron, the bauxite,

The rubber, the sugar, the diamonds, the tantalum,

The cheap labour and the slaves

The timber, the flax, the hemp, the rum,

The cocoa, the tin, the diamonds, the opium,

The silver, the coffee, the cattle, the cocoa,

The gas, the gemstones, gold and slaves
