Conflict - The Guilt & The Glory lyrics
rate meDo you know that at least 70% of the human population of this planet starve<br />
And many more do not get enough to eat? You must now be familiar with reports<br />
Of the famine In Ethiopia, where the weather has been so dry that crops fall,<br />
Where the people are so hungry they have to walk many miles to the nearest<br />
Relief station where there might be food If proplr have been generous.<br />
In any one station at least 40 people a day die. totally shriveled.<br />
They haven't the energy to brush away the flies that are waiting for THEIR<br />
Meal. These poeple are the victims of our western governments. In Britain<br />
Alone there are massive great food stores where surplus grain sits, In the<br />
EEC there are food mountains, In Amrerica farmers are paid to destroy part of<br />
Their harvest, while big corporations plunder the 3rd world countries at the<br />
Expense of the natives. Why Is this - economics, the science of greed. that<br />
Which says people must pay western prices for their food. Natural starving<br />
Countries can't afford this especially when their government takes the best<br />
FIrst. The western government have plenty of money. They tax us on our <br />
Income, then they tax us on what we buy. They take the money we have worked <br />
For and use It to buy arms. They would rather be able to destroy the world<br />
12 instead of 10 times over than transport surplus food to those who die.<br />
Indeed, they become 111 through obesity. Must we tolerate these obscenities?<br />
When soon even we may be starving because of their taxes.<br />
Some people don't see the connections between big bussiness and destruction.<br />
The biggest murderers are MacDonald's. Not only do they breed and slaughter<br />
Millions of cattle, great rain forests are pulled down to make way for <br />
Grazing ground. This destroys hundreds of unique species each time not to<br />
Mention the fact that we need trees to produce oxygen for the planet.<br />
Many birds In North America migrate to these forests, on arriving and finding<br />
No forest they die. The drop In population of birds means~more insects and<br />
The Americans only answer to this is pesticide. We all know about factories<br />
Who manufacture pesticide, you know about Union Carbide. They're an American<br />
Company who set up dangerous plants. It doesn't matter, nearly 3,000 indians<br />
Are now dead due to their callousness, thousands have strokes and injuries<br />
That will never heal. Innocent people who had done nothing, whose life is not<br />
Easy anyway, and why? So America can steal food from the starving millions.<br />
Nearly all big bussiness, is based on explanation of the worst kinds. <br />
Cosmetic companies use dead animals to make their products, then poison many<br />
More by feeding it to them with the end result of encouraging sexism by<br />
Convincing men and women to look the same as each other. Advertising promotes <br />
This and advertising of any kind usually portrays women as a sex object only,<br />
There to be raped. Drug companies (like Roche & ICI) claim to Invent new<br />
Drugs to cure Imagined diseases. Thousands die ~t the hands of their useless<br />
Research. They try to make drugs to cure heart disease which was originally<br />
Caused by the sufferer eating meat and dairy products to excess.<br />
Booker McConnell own everything from butchers to health shops, as long as<br />
The cash rolls in who cares? Other companies who make machinery ~ domestic<br />
Appliances (like Thorn EMI.) also makes defense gadgetry. British Aerospace<br />
Specialize In fighters in favour of passenger jets. Governments pay more for<br />
Weaponry that domestic consumers pay for domestic items. That's why many many<br />
Comapnies world wide clamour for defense orders, some would go bankrupt <br />
Without them. The final Industry, uranium mining, sponsored in Britain by RTZ<br />
Plunders the landscape, kills the wildlife,exploits the natives and gives them<br />
Cancer. The product makes bombs to kill all and 15 used for nuclear fuel.<br />
The kind of power that produces waste which can be pumped Into the sea In<br />
Cumbria. Deformed babies and children dying and leukemia are coincidences
