Lyrics to Drink Of The Death Squads :

Coca-Cola came to Colombia Seeking lower wages

They got just what they came for

But as we turn the pages

We find the workers didn't like the sound

Of their children's hungry cries

So they said we'll join the union

And they began to organize

So Coke called up a terrorist group

Called the AUC

They said "we've got some problems At the factory"

So these thugs went to the plant

Killed two union men

Told the rest, "you leave the union

Or we'll be back again"

Now Coke did not complain

About this dirty deed

Why give workers higher wages

When Coke is all they really need

They phoned the AUC

Said "thanks, without you we'd go broke

And to show our appreciation
