No Power Without Accountability

Em A D Em Em A I grew up, in a company town Em And I work a' hard til' the company closed down Em A They gave my job, to another man Em On half my wages in some foreign land A Em And when I asked, how could that be, any good for our economy, A Em I was told, nobody cared, so long as they make money when they sell their shares Em A Can you hear us, are you listening Em A There's no power without accountability Em A I lost my job, my car and my house Em A When 10,000 miles away some guy clicked on a mouse Em A He didn't know me, we never spoke Em A He didn't ask my opinion or canvas for my vote Em I guess it's true, A Nobody cares until those petrol bombs come spinning through the air Em Gotta find a way A Em to hold them to account before they find a way to snuff our voices out Em A The ballot box is no garruntee, that we achieve democracy Em Our leaders claim their victory A When only half the people've spoken Em We have no job security, in this global economy Em A Our borders closed to refugees Em But our markets forced open Em A World banks says to Mexico Em We'll cut you off if you don't keep your taxes low EM A They have no right to wield that sword Em They take orders from the chairman of the board Em A IMF WTO I hear these words used every place I go, Em Who are those people, who elected them Em A Em And how do I replace them with some of my friends Chorus 2x Em, A, D Em Repeat to fade Sorry about the lyrics, but he murmurs on the live version it woz taken from. this was tabbed by: Nick Case
