Generate meaning
1
Who brought the bomb wrapped up in business cards
2
And stained with steak?
3
Who hires a maid to wash his money?
4
Who keeps politicians on the take?
5
Who puts outspoken third-worlders in jail
6
Just to shut them down?
7
Oh the lies vary from place to place but the truth is still the same,
8
Even in this town
9
Money junkies all over the world
10
Trample us on their way to the bank
11
They run in every race
12
Windego
13
Third-worlders see it first:
14
The dynamite, the dozers, the cancer and the acid rain
15
The corporate caterpillars come into our backyards
16
And turn the world to pocket change
17
Reservations are the nuclear frontline;
18
Uranium poisoning kills
19
We're starving in a handful of gluttons
20
We're drowning in their gravy spills
21
Their tongues are silver forks
22
There's a lack of wisdom,
23
You can hear it on their breath
24

25
It's delicate confronting these priests of the golden bull
26
They preach from the pulpit of the bottom line
27
Their minds rustle with million dollar bills
28
You say Silver burns a hole in your pocket
29
And Gold burns a hole in your soul
30
Well, uranium burns a hole in forever
31
It just gets out of control
32
There was a crooked man who walked a crooked mile
33
He raised a crooked sixpence to hide a crooked style
34
He won a crooked vote and smiled a crooked smile
35
Windego
36
Their tongues are silver forks
37
There's a lack of wisdom,
38
You can hear it on their breath
39
