THIRD WORLD PERSPECTIVE


Our vengeance is near; honorable judge William Hoeveler, cocaine is our vengeance, it is the atomic bomb of Latin America.
- Court statement made by Carlos Lehder (Colombian drug trafficker)


Dionysus,
god of wine,
you were loved, you were hated,
loved and hated,
loved and hated,
god of wine,
loved and hated.


Third World,
bring cocaine,
we are loved, we are hated,
loved and hated,
loved and hated,
bring cocaine,
loved and hated.


King of Thebes,
mocked Dionysus,
refused to believe him,
refused to believe,
refused to believe,
mocked Dionysus,
refused to believe.


Kings of World,
scoff at Third World,
do not recognize us,
refuse to recognize,
refuse recognize,
scoff at Third World,
refuse to recognize.


Dionysus,
made women of Thebes go mad,
tore apart King’s body,
tore apart,
tore apart,
made women of Thebes go mad,
tore apart.


Third World,
brings addiction and death,
overdose Wall Street Banker,
overdose,
overdose,
brings addiction and death,
overdose.


Dionysus,
fought people of Thebes,
with wine as his weapon,
wine as weapon,
wine as weapon,
fought people of Thebes,
wine as weapon.


Third World,
fights America,
with cocaine as our weapon,
cocaine as weapon,
cocaine as weapon,
fights America,
cocaine as weapon.


Third World,
needs America,
America needs cocaine, you’re the greatest consumer,
consume cocaine,
consume cocaine,
needs America,
consume cocaine.
