Lyrics
Another World is Possible
Ed McDade c. 2005
IMF, big world bank, WTO, want to rule world and all of it?s people.
Here is what they do.
Privatization, structural adjustments, with a debt that can't be paid.
Take in independent nation, all its population, turn them into slaves.
Another world is possible, oh yes you see.
Freedom, Justice for everyone,
A world of opportunities.
Another world is possible, oh yes it can be.
Freedom, Justice for everyone,
A better world for you and me.
No education, no sanitation, no medicine, no worker?s safety,
Can't have no union, when they put you in a free trade zone.
Work together, respect each other, learn and organize.
Show the nation, teach the people, open up their eyes.
Chorus
Who owns the water? They say they do. The money must come first.
You pay and pay, when you ain't got it, you could die of thirst.
So work together, respect each other, learn and organize.
Show the nation, teach the people, open up their eyes.
Chorus
