Live Performance of the American Acronym Rant Chant
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009
A Rant/Chant that I wrote using acronyms about one aspect of the global economic situation- the inequity. Performed live for the first time at the Kava Kafe in downtown Hawi, North Kohala, Big Island of Hawaiii.
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
