Let the games begin, there is money at stake
Call the lawyers in, there is money
Let the kids get shovelled back and forth
on holidays and and weekends, there is
Hang the dirty laundry out for everyone to see,
there
Let the caws come out,
Burn the buildings down,
Let the businessmen in Tokyo commit
the highest rate of suicide in the world,
Let Big Tobacco plunge the Third World into
nicotene addictions,
Let the Rag-mag advertise slim models promoting
bolemia and anorexia in young girls,
Let the TV hostlers pick the pockets of the naive
and the poor in the name of Jesus,
Let Hollywood pay half a million dollars to a star
when half the world is starving, oh and them
baseball players,
Let the Americans up their anti-nuclear warfare
to outdo their imaginary compeditors,
Let some guy come along and say "Hey this
song's a hit let's give it to an all-girl rap
band in Europe and make a killing,"
Hey, hey
Let the games begin
