lyrics

Well, here's coming at ya with the economic structural
adjustment program
Fresh in from the North, special delivery, but don't you ever get caught tryin' ta hijack tha ticket
From the day you were born you been ever in debt to me
for the sins of my ancestors
You got to throw your books just to make ends meet?

Yo, we got it all set up 'cos now they hungry
But our belly full
'Cos, ugh, you and me got it all worked out
My people work for free while they bury their fathers
Whaddya mean ya don't remember me? I'm the country you drew
Before you withdrew
And now you can make a deposit to the New Bank of Switzerland
'Cos I refuse to

chorus

What more do you need?
What more do you want from me?

Let's make the people
jump.
I'm speaking of war now!

Meanwhile, south of the border...
Where you never look
