Third World Genocide
Third World's Brutal Reality
Lyrics
They come to rule and not by chance
They arrive with the intention to govern, not by random chance.
Aided by a bloodied lance
Assisted by a weapon (metaphorically a lance) stained with blood.
No elections needed here
No requirement for elections in their regime.
Such things mundane are not their way
Ordinary, routine activities like elections are not part of their approach or method.
A thousand rivals lying dead
Many opponents or adversaries are killed and lying dead.
And their families starved, decayed
The families of these rivals suffer from starvation and decay.
No relief by foreign aid
No help is received from foreign aid.
A poisoned dagger is their way
They utilize a poisoned dagger as their means of achieving goals or exerting control.
Government by those who kill
Governance is in the hands of those who engage in killing.
And then collect from U.N. tills
They both perpetrate killings and profit from funds provided by the United Nations.
They live on aid and ask for more
They survive on aid and continuously demand more, despite it mainly funding their actions.
When all it does is pay for way
The aid provided only serves to finance their methods or agenda.
So carefree
They are carefree in their actions.
Your killing spree
Their actions of killing are done without restraint or concern.
I must be blind I can't see
Despite the evident atrocities, the speaker feels unable to perceive or understand them.
Tell me what is human life worth
The speaker questions the value or significance of human life in this context.
The skies cry bloody tears
The situation is so distressing that it metaphorically causes the skies to cry bloody tears.
