Slash & Burn Lyrics - Graham Parker

Pre> 

D a d a 

The world was stripped of beauty baby by the working man 

He was told it was his duty baby again and again and again 

They took the slaves from africa baby along with sugar sacks 

To build the british empire baby and break everybody's back 

Chorus 

E a e a 

Hey hey slash and burn hey hey slash and burn 

E a d e 

Hey hey slash and burn that's how they feed the world

They burned the mighty rain forest the howler monkeys screamed 

They turned it into burgers for the monkeys on the street 

The paths were forged with promise hung up like jewels and gold 

While atlas the adonis was holding up the globe 

Chorus 

Hey hey slash and burn hey hey slash and burn 

Hey hey slash and burn that's how they feed the world 

E a 

That's how they feed the world (then) instrumental

China's for the chinese russia is for chumps 

Criminals were elected to divide the world 

For every head a bullet for every swine a pearl (then) repeat chorus (twice)
