When Corporations Rule Your Mom

What is this madness?
Herald the Herods of the day coated
In dark suits beyond the sight and scrutiny of a public
Searching for clues as to why in the rest of the world
We would see poverty and upheaval
Beyond our wildest dreams
No novel can capture the scene of
Rage quite like daytime TV
Feed the children. Victims of the IMF, World Bank-
Financial shank in the side of human development
Buy into the guilt of having too much while you
Support the ideology that maims, that kills with
Interest to pay back. But your will is not a concern
It maims and it kills with interest to pay back
Human progress is irrelevant
Stock dividends we will defend as austerity programs
Blister hands so Bretton Woods lives
Structural adjustment- well-being ill, "function" lost
Leverage obsolete in the name of free trade
Negotiation non-existent
Bulldoze economic freedom
Who pays the price with their lives?
Open borders, open for consumption
Defecating life's blood
Sifting through the hands of esteemed principles
Yeah, the triumphant global economy
Supercedes meeting human needs
