Artist/Band: Graham Parker
Lyrics for Song: Slash & Burn
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Graham Parker



Pre>

D a d a

The world was stripped of beauty baby by the working man

He was told it was his duty baby again and again and again

They took the slaves from africa baby along with sugar sacks

To build the british empire baby and break everybody's back



Chorus

E a e a

Hey hey slash and burn hey hey slash and burn

E a d e

Hey hey slash and burn that's how they feed the world



They burned the mighty rain forest the howler monkeys screamed

They turned it into burgers for the monkeys on the street

The paths were forged with promise hung up like jewels and gold

While atlas the adonis was holding up the globe



Chorus

Hey hey slash and burn hey hey slash and burn

Hey hey slash and burn that's how they feed the world

E a

That's how they feed the world (then) instrumental



America is a car park london is a dump

China's for the chinese russia is for chumps

Criminals were elected to divide the world

For every head a bullet for every swine a pearl

(then) repeat chorus (twice)
