Songtext:
today, the colour line/is the power line/is the poverty line Kerzen basteln

Racism and imperialism work in tandem
And poverty is their handmaiden Nachrichten aktueller

Those who are poor and powerless to break out of their poverty
Are also those who by and large are non-white, non-western, third world Folie
Poverty and powerlessness are interwined in colour, in race
Discrimination and exploitation feed into each other today
Under global capitalism... Webseite Solingen

We are back to primitive accumulation - plunder on a world scale
Only this time, the pillage is accompanied by aid, sustained by expert andratx restaurants
Advice and underpinned by programmes and policies that perpetuate dependency

The imf, the world bank, structural adjustment programmes Digitaldruck Hannover
General agreement on tariffs and trade - gatt,
Are just a few of the organisations, schemes, projects
Which under the guise of developing the third world, plunder it. Folienbeschriftung Dresden

Trade agreements and commodity price-fixing, patents and
Intellectual property rights Luxury Golf Homes
They lock them into paralytic dependency

There's no such thing as illegal immigrants, only illegal kitzbühel restaurant
Governments...

Black is not just the colour of our skins Madrid
It's the colour of our politics...

There's no such thing as illegal immigrants, only illegal
Governments...

Today, the colour line/is the power line/is the poverty line
