The Seattle version is as follows, called THE WTO SONG. The second verse was written by my choir leader to make it relevant to the UK: Oh give me land lots of land lots of cash and lots of power Don't fence me in Don't you say I can't pay workers 20 cents an hour Don't fence me in I think it's cute to pollute and so if your nation Bans my toxic product without compensation I can turn and sue you for expropriation Don't fence me in Just turn me loose don't you question an investments that I make in any land Don't introduce any laws I have to follow but the laws they call supply and demand The world's a big casino and I want to play so Leave me here to speculate because I say so I don't care if it crashes like the peso Don't fence me in Oh give me GATS becasue that's what I need for full control Don't fence me in I'll be made if I can trade all the services you've sold Don't fence me in I want your trains and your drains and privatisation Of health care, of prisons and of education It's all in the cause of globalisation Don't fence me in Double you tee oh, these 3 letters spell unfettered trade and ought to be your pride When folks say no to your decisions your can tell them that it really isn't there's to decide So hand me command just the way I've stated I can make your job a lot less complicated Don't you think democracy is overrated Don't fence me in
