The Plan Puebla Panama Lyrics

Well the world has seven nations, maybe you've been told.
That have most of the money and therefore run the globe.
But the richest of them all does almost anything it wants.
One of it's current scams is called Plan Puebla Panama.

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e60003-ryan_harvey~the_plan_puebla_panama__lyrics.html ]
Well the rulers took a notion in the year of 44
From their history combining corporate dominance and war
They formed the World Bank and they formed the IMF
The new colonialism would be called development

The World Bank had a child and they named it IDB
And it ran loose through the hemisphere creating poverty
It funded much destruction, forced the people into debt
Now Plan Puebla Panama shows that they aren't done quite yet

It starts in Pubela, Mexico and travels south from there
Building highways and railroads and sweatshops everywhere
Upwards soon to Michigan and into Canada
It's the trade route for the Gringos, Plan Puebla Panama
They're cutting down the forests dumping poison in the sea
And they're daming up the rivers making all the people flee
They're blowing up the mountains, digging craters down for gold
Talking about democracy while slave are being sold

Now from Jaurez down to Alta you can hear the rattlin' chains
Making t-shirts, toys, and sneakers for export to the states
The farmer's can grow coffee, cotton, flowers and cocaine
Protected by the death squads trained at the SOA

In the foggy mountain paradise or on the sunny beach
Cheap labor and free markets are always within reach
Like a giant arm outstretching keeping everybody down
It's called Plan Puebla Panama and it's happening right now

Well the world has seven nations, maybe you've been told
That have most of the money and therefore run the globe
Their prosperity was gained through trickery and blood
Like their latest scam for profit, Plan Puebla Panama
