Luyện nghe bài hát Colour Line

Today, the color is the power line, is the poverty line

Racism and imperialism in tandem
And poverty is handmaid

Those who are poor and to break out of their poverty
Are also those who by and large are non-white, non-western, world
Poverty and are intertwined in color, in race
Discrimination and exploitation feed into each today
Under global

We are to primitive accumulation, plunder on a world scale
Only this time, the pillage is by aid
Sustained by advice and underpinned by programmes
And policies that dependency

The IMF, the bank, structural adjustment programmes
General agreement on tariffs and trade,
Are a few of the organizations, schemes, projects
Which under the guise of the third world, plunder it

agreements and commodity price-fixing
Patents and intellectual property
They them into paralytic dependency

is no such thing as illegal immigrants
Only governments

Black is not just the color of our
It's color of our politics

There is no such thing as immigrants
illegal governments

Today, the line is the power line, is the poverty line
