Billy Bragg – No Power Without Accountability (Ukulele)

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

Em			A
Can you hear us, are you listening

Em				A
There's no power without accountability

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

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

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
