Luyện nghe bài hát Colour Line

Today, the line is the power line, is the poverty line

Racism and imperialism in tandem
And is their handmaid

Those who are poor and to break out of their poverty
Are also those who by and large are non-white, non-western, world
Poverty and powerlessness are in color, in race
Discrimination and exploitation feed each other today
global capitalism

We are back to accumulation, plunder on a world scale
Only this time, the is accompanied by aid
Sustained by advice and underpinned by programmes
And policies perpetuate dependency

The IMF, the world bank, structural adjustment
General on tariffs and trade, gatt
Are just a few of the organizations, schemes,
Which the guise of developing the third world, plunder it

Trade agreements and commodity
and intellectual property rights
They lock them into dependency

There is no such thing as immigrants
Only illegal

is not just the color of our skins
It's this color of our

There is no thing as illegal immigrants
illegal governments

Today, the color line is the line, is the poverty line
