FREEDOM TRAIN

Bend down and spread 'em folks,
here comes freedom.
Drink your Coca-cola
and don't complain.
It takes a lot of cash
to lift the white man's burden.
So clear the tracks
for the freedom train.
All aboard!

You can pay us in body bags,
or burger bars, or boot camps.
We can move your heroin,
connive at your cocaine.
We don't give a fuck
how a man makes a buck.
Oh, we're very broad-minded
on the freedom train.
All aboard!

Don't tell me
that you're choking on the fumes
keep your eyes on the road ahead.
Don't let yourself
stand in the way of progress,
with this pettyfogging counting of the dead.
It's a small sacrifice to make.
for the greater good of all
keep your hands off the brake.

Suharto and Salazar,
Batista and Somoza,
Marcos and Pinochet,
Mobutu and Hussein,
Pol Pot and Papa Doc,
Amin and Noriega,
rode first-class
on the freedom train.
All aboard!
