Luyện nghe bài hát Colour Line

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

and imperialism work in tandem
And poverty is their

Those who are and powerless to break out of their poverty
Are also those who by and are non-white, non-western, third world
Poverty and are intertwined in color, in race
Discrimination and exploitation feed into each today
Under capitalism

We are back to primitive accumulation, plunder on a world
Only this time, the pillage is by aid
Sustained by expert and underpinned by programmes
And policies that dependency

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

Trade agreements and price-fixing
Patents and property rights
They lock them into paralytic

There is no such thing as illegal
illegal governments

Black is not the color of our skins
this color of our politics

There is no thing as illegal immigrants
illegal governments

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