Make Trade Fair (Live Bonus Track)

Well it all began with a shake of hands
Over promises of a better land
Scientists had developed
New seeds for a better crop
Well the deal soon proved to be unfair
When Monsanto stripped the farmers bare
Claiming rights on seeds to grow
That's the toll with GMOs
Addicted farmers paid more bills
They soon went deep in bankruptcy
Strange fruits now grow on Indian trees
Over crying wives
Don't you think it's time
It's time to make trade fair
It's time to make trade fair
It's time we made trade fair
It's time to make trade fair
On a Sunny Sunday in the park
The kids play and the dogs bark
But the ball that's in their hands
Was sewn by children hands
The evening is cosy, you lie down
On your lovely rug from Pakistan
Can't you feel within the seams
All these children's broken dreams?
Most of them were sold out to their boss
Their parents think the gain is worth the loss
A child's life is no coin to be tossed
Like a nickel dime
Don't you think it's time
It's time to make trade fair
It's time to make trade fair
It's time we made trade fair
It's time to make trade fair
It's time to make trade fair
It's time to make trade fair
It's time we made trade fair
It's time to make trade fair
It's time we realized how lucky we are
We were born in a wealthy land
We can afford to give the poorer countries
A friendly helping hand
We can stand up against inequality
And show we can break the rule
We can take action, set the children free
And send them to school
Addicted farmers paid more bills
They soon went deep in bankruptcy
Strange fruits now grow on Indian trees
Over crying wives
Don't you think it's time
