How easy it appears
\nTo kick a blind mans cane away
\nTo steel a pittance from a poor man
\nOn a foggy day
\nThe rich man’s jiggery pokery
\nWith phantom stocks and shares
\nCan grab a pensioners savings
\nAs he says his prayers<\/p>\n
In Bangladesh the Santal people
\nLive in squalor they
\nWork their butts off for a dollar
\nJust one every day
\nLiving in a mud hut
\nUsing a duff latrine
\nNo running water
\nExcept ones tears
\nUp against the great machine<\/p>\n
That plans to put a power station
\nWhere your bit of land
\nWhere you grow your vegetables
\nIn the dried out sand
\nWants to cut the trees around your hut
\nActually Down to the ground
\nWants to fill your pond in
\nSo your fish will all be drowned<\/p>\n
Wants to poison your water
\nThat you fetch a mile away
\nWants to make the air you breathe
\nFilled up with dust all day
\nAn ethnic group of ancient people
\nYou can go to hell
\nWe want a coal fired power station
\nHere
\nAnd it will make you well<\/p>\n
So you can breathe our coal dust
\nAnd be deafened by the noise
\nWe have come from England
\nWhere now there are few joys
\nSo you can share the wisdom
\nAnd get the hell away
\nSo we can make a packet
\nMining coal the dirty way<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
