Paroles Welcome to the European Union de David Rovics

Textes et Paroles de Welcome to the European Union

I landed in Denmark and there was Burger KingAnd a red and white sign saying "Coke's the real thing"The Titanic was sinking at the local cineplexAnd the kids were chomping on corn chexIn the city center the stores were closing downThings just haven't been the same since the Wal-Mart came to townIn the growing suburbs folks were driving minivansAnd it's all gone according to the best-laid plansWelcome to the European UnionIt´s evolving every dayGetting more and more like the USAWell I thumbed a ride to Hamburg, saw the homeless in the streetThe mayor had to build more houses to make room for the eliteThe cops were rounding up the immigrants, sending them to other placesIt was plain to see the desperation on their facesWhen I got to Brussels you could feel the scheming in the airCorporate executives in suits were everywhereAnd they were very happy for all the plans they madeAnd you could hear them chanting, "Free trade, free trade, free trade!"Welcome to the European UnionIt´s evolving every dayGetting more and more like the USAAnd in London men were saying, "We need more fighter planesAnd we need more motorways with some extra lanesWe need Washington to teach us how an economy runsAnd spend lots more money on cars and bombs and gunsWhen Euro-Interests are threatened we must be preparedTo invade some backward country if the United States is scaredAfrica may shake and the peaceniks will glowerBut what the world plainly needs is another superpower"Welcome to the European UnionIt´s evolving every dayGetting more and more like the USAOnce we were so proud of social democracyWelfare for all and long vacations by the seaBut now we have seen the errors of our waysThere is no alternative, no way back to the old daysIf you want a living wage, we'll tell you where to goAs we welcome China into the WTOYes if you want an honest job your prospects might not look sunnyBut there's never been a better time if you've got lots of moneyWelcome to the European UnionIt´s evolving every dayGetting more and more like the USAYes in the halls of power from Athens to ParisYou can hear the rulers shouting "No more subsidy!So fuck off all you workers, farmers, greens and allIt´s time to turn the world into a giant shopping mall"From Rasmussen to Shroeder, Blair to BerlusconiIt´s all the same old show, same old dog and ponyIf you need me to spell it out, what's the matter with themIt´s called C-A-P-I-T-A-L-I-S-MWelcome to the European UnionIt´s evolving every dayGetting more and more like the USA
