Twitter twitter.com/phil_monsourDescription The circus is coming to town the rulers and their entourage of clowns Preaching the neo liberal creed 20 kings and queens of greed No voice in the score to represent the poor So let them eat money Like medieval lords hiding behind castle walls In amour plated cars shadows behind black glass Far from angry voice they won’t look into the faces So let them eat money For the 1% a party 99 % go hungry So let them eat money When talking to save the climate no deals can be found But when it comes to saving banks billions of dollars fly around Sacrifice the planet in the name of profit So let them eat money Team Australia is wiping up the fear its good for their career Fighting another war same reason as before You need to fear your neighbours while they are lowering your wages So let them eat money Keep refugees in prison while they strip back you conditions So let them eat money What they really fear is a global culture of resistance People rising up against colonial persistence Challenge to the system met with violence and repression Media machine promotes despair and segregation Global leaders celebrating power and control Free market system corporations want your soul Behind the smiles and handshakes war poverty disease Until they own everything event the air we breathe They meet on stolen land no treaty ever signed A fire in Musgrave park a sovereign people light a spark Resistance it continues they will never own our soul So let them eat money
