Co-operation Reigns

Back to the CD page

Words & Music:  Paul Spencer, 1997

It's good to remember that we aren't alone in resisting the malignant power of transational corporations - we can depend on one other!

Although we live beneath the cloud of greedy corporations
We must believe we will achieve our proper liberation
The world of business marches on as though it can't be halted
But tyrants past have fallen down when peasants have revolted

Goodbye Coles. Goodbye Shell. Goodbye Coca-cola
Today we save each other from our gluttonous controller
The world was ill with wretched pain, its creatures bound in chains
But justice is alive today, co-operation reigns, ha, ha, ha!

The world has been through times of good and times of rampant evil
But nothing we have faced has made us sad beyond retrieval
For every season cycles 'round and Winter turns to harvest
And justice rallies close again when once it was the farthest

We'll sing this song the day we're free from bondage to the wealthy
When streets are filled with dance and song and lives are full and healthy
But victory comes by small degrees and constant confrontation
So every time we take a step we'll sing in celebration
