I'd rather sip cocktails on the lagoon
Than be some kind..of radical loon
All these rock bands that promote 'Fair Trade'
But you ripped us all off with your little charade
I ain't Hendrix, you ain't either
I'm gonna phone you, pick up the receiver
Save the world without your private stash, Bono
There's been a stockmarket crash
You work for private enterprise
You wanna save the world baby what a surprise
Please you kids turn the racket down
People in the Third World don't like your sound
Please unplug your electric guitars
Please clean up your bleeding hearts
Please take a cheque book and sign your name
Poverty is history..and so's your fame
Woodstock was all a bunch of tiedied wimps
I'd rather hug Michael Jackson's chimp
I'd rather work for a pimp on Mars
I'm tired of all these pink rockstars
(some instrumental bars play)
You work for private enterprise
You wanna save the world baby what a surprise
Please you kids turn the racket down
People in the Third World don't like your sound
Please unplug your electric guitars
Please clean up your bleeding hearts
Please take a cheque book and sign your name
Poverty is history..and so's your fame
Sometimes I feel like J Edgar Hoover
Is that the guy that made the Hoover?
Well all the Reds he tried to hoover them up
But all the record labels are scoopin em up
Charity is one thing and music's another
Baby your music is makin me suffer
I'm a poor kid and I wanna get paid
Why don't you give up music for charity babe?
