“The Money They Stole”

Troops are banging at the door
Will they dare to start a war?
Venezuela faces its gravest hour
Since Bolivar fought the Spanish power
Fishermen have been burned and drowned
By orders of a man donning a crown
Peddling sinister fentanyl lies
Posting snuff films of the people who die
And if you wonder what’s the empire’s goal
Just follow the money they stole
The assets have been seized
By banks that act like thieves
Western leaders say they should decide
How a sovereign country runs inside
When they lose sway, they cook up a scheme
To make the economy scream
Washington claims it owns the oil
In the open veins of Venezuela’s soil
And if you wonder what’s the empire’s goal
Just follow the money they stole
The veins were drained by foreign theft
The vampires blame the country’s Left
And plot a coup to strip and steal
The wealth of a nation refusing to kneel
The people there are standing guard
Cuz Yankees act like it’s their “backyard”
The U.S. Fleet surrounds the shore
Where an Empire met defeat before
And if you wonder what’s the empire’s goal
Just follow the money they stole
The money they stole.
The money they stole.
From children and their families!
The money they stole.
The money they stole.
And put it in their banks
The money they stole.
The money they stole.
They took the CITGO stations
The money they stole.
The money they stole.
That once sustained the nation
The money they stole.
The money they stole.
The people will reclaim it
The money they stole.
The money they stole.
But first we have to name it
Just follow the money they stole
