No power without accountability
By Billy Bragg

Intro

Em A D Em

Verse 1

Em A
I grew up, in a company town
Em
And I work a' hard til' the company closed down
Em A
They gave my job, to another man
Em
On half my wages in some foreign land
A Em
And when I asked, how could that be, any good for our economy,
A Em
I was told, nobody cared, so long as they make money and they sell their shares

Chorus
Em A
Can you hear us, are you listening
Em A
There's no power without accountability

Verse 2

Em A
I lost my job, my car and my house

Em A
When 10,000 miles away some guy clicked on a mouse
Em A
He didn't know me, we never spoke
Em A
He didn't ask my opinion or canvas for my vote
Em
I guess it's true,
A
Nobody cares until them petrol bombs come spinning through the air
Em
Gotta find a way
A Em
to hold them to account before they find a way to snuff our voices out

Chorus


Verse 3

Em A
The ballot box is no garruntee, but we achieve democracy
Em
Our leaders claim their victory
A
When only half the people've spoken
Em
There is no job security, And this global economy
Em A
Our borders closed to refugees
Em
Our markets forced to open
Em A
World banks is to Mexico
Em
Well Crust Hoff if you don't keep them taxes low

chorus

EM A
They have no right to wield that sword
Em
They take orders from generals abroad
Em A
I am F, WTO I hear these words just to give the cops a go,
Em
Who are those people, who elected them
Em A Em
And Why do I repeat them with some of my friends
