O primeiro disco de Bruce foi lancado em 1970, ele teria na altura 29 anos, apesar de ter ja a cabeca cheia de cabelos brancos, esta em optima forma
Existem poucos caminhos que ainda não foram seguidos por este veterano artista ao longo de sua trajetória que já ultrapassa mais de quatro décadas. A última trilha seguida por Cockburn foi em direção à música instrumental com o álbum “Speechless”, em 2005.
Surpreendente como sempre, Bruce apresenta uma nova jornada musical neste seu novo trabalho
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

THEY CALL IT DEMOCRACY by Bruce Cockburn (1985)
D Padded with power here they come EmG International loan sharks backed by the guns D Of market hungry military profiteers EmG Whose word is a swamp and whose brow is smeared DEmG With the blood of the poor
Who rob life of its quality Who render rage a necessity By turning countries into labour camps Modern slavers in drag as champions of freedom Sinister cynical instrument Who makes the gun into a sacrament The only response to the deification Of tyranny by so-called "developed" nations' Idolatry of ideology North south east west Kill the best and buy the rest It's just spend a buck to make a buck You don't really give a flying fuck About the people in misery
A IMF dirty MF A Takes away everything it can get A Always making certain that there's one thing left ADEmGDEmG Keep them on the hook with insupportable debt
I see the paid-off local bottom feeders Passing themselves off as leaders Kiss the ladies shake hands with the fellows And it's open for business like a cheap bordello
And they call it democracy, and they call it democracy And they call it democracy, and they call it democracy
You see the loaded eyes of the children too Trying to make the best of it the way kids do One day you're going to rise from your habitual feast To find yourself staring down the throat of the beast They call the revolution
IMF dirty MF Takes away everything it can get Always making certain that there's one thing left Keep them on the hook with insupportable debt And they call it democracy
