Conflict The Guilt and the Glory Lyrics

Do you know that at least 70% of the human
population of this planet starve and many more do
not get enough to eat? You must now be familiar
with reports of the famine In Ethiopia, where the
weather has been so dry that crops fail, where the
people are so hungry they have to walk many miles
to the nearest relief station where there might be
food If people have been generous. In any one
station at least 40 people a day die. totally
shriveled. They haven't the energy to brush away
the flies that are waiting for THEIR meal. These
poeple are the victims of our western governments.
In Britain alone there are massive great food
stores where surplus grain sits, In the EEC there
are food mountains, In America farmers are paid to
destroy part of their harvest, while big
corporations plunder the 3rd world countries at
the expense of the natives. Why Is this -
economics, the science of greed. That which says
people must pay western prices for their food.
Naturally, starving countries can't afford this
especially when their government takes the best
first. The western governments have plenty of
money. They tax us on our income, then they tax us
on what we buy. They take the money we have worked
for and use It to buy arms. They would rather be
able to destroy the world 12 instead of 10 times
over than transport surplus food to those who die.
Indeed, they become ill through obesity. Must we
tolerate these obscenities? When soon even we may
be starving because of their taxes. Some people
don't see the connections between big business and
destruction. The biggest murderers are McDonald's.
Not only do they breed and slaughter millions of
cattle, great rain forests are pulled down to make
way for grazing ground. This destroys hundreds of
unique species each time not to mention the fact
that we need trees to produce oxygen for the
planet. Many birds In North America migrate to
these forests, on arriving and finding no forest
they die. The drop In population of birds means
more insects and the Americans' only answer to
this is pesticide. We all know about factories who
manufacture pesticide, you know about Union
Carbide. They're an American Company who set up
dangerous plants. Where if anything goes wrong It
doesn't matter. nearly 3,000 Indians are now dead
due to their callousness, thousands have strokes
and injuries that will never heal. Innocent people
who had done nothing, whose life is not easy
anyway, and why? So America can steal food from
the starving millions. Nearly all big bussiness,
is based on exploitation of the worst kinds.
Cosmetic companies use dead animals to make their
products, then poison many more by feeding it to
them with the end result of encouraging s__ism by
convincing men and women to look the same as each
other. Advertising promotes this and advertising
of any kind usually portrays women as a s__ object
only, they're to be raped. Drug companies (like
Roche & ICI) claim to Invent new drugs to cure
Imagined diseases. Thousands die at the hands of
their useless research. They try to make drugs to
cure heart disease which was originally caused by
the sufferer eating meat and dairy products to
excess. Booker McConnell own everything from
butchers to health shops, as long as the cash
rolls in who cares? Other companies who make
machinery and domestic appliances (like Thorn
EMI.) also makes defense gadgetry. British
Aerospace specialize In fighters in favour of
passenger jets. Governments pay more for weaponry
than domestic consumers pay for domestic items.
That's why many many comapnies world wide clamour
for defense orders, some would go bankrupt without
them. The final Industry, uranium mining,
sponsored in Britain by RTZ plunders the
landscape, kills the wildlife,exploits the
natives, and gives them cancer. The product makes
bombs to kill all and 15 used for nuclear fuel.
The kind of power that produces waste which can be
pumped Into the sea In c__bria. Deformed babies
and children dying and leukemia are coincidences
we are told. How many more lies must we listen to?
