Bite the bullet Take the Pain Bite the bullet Take the pain

Move over people American Interests are coming through

Because you’re an LDC with no GDP
Aspiring to have new Mickey D’s

The IMF’s got you by the nuts
While the people clamor for the newest laptops

You’re goin’ 24/7 in your factories
Foreign workers slaving for their families
On their backs you crawl to the top of the heap
With your golden parachute you take the leap

Bite the bullet Take the Pain Bite the bullet Take the pain

I don’t like the size of my 401-K
So you people must suffer cultural decay
For a PDA with an LCD and a single soy mocha chi iced tea

Bite the bullet Take the Pain Bite the bullet Take the pain

And the WHO’s not worried about the GMO’s
There’s all in bed with the WTO’s

Trapped in the greed steady on the track
Of an all out full scale nuclear attack

Bite the bullet Take the Pain Bite the bullet Take the pain
