"Call it Democracy" is perhaps the only song ever written about the
International Monetary Fund, which Cockburn accuses of fostering
"insupportable debt" in Third World countries. Typically not pulling any
punches, Cockburn charges that the IMF doesn't "really give a flying fuck
about the people in misery." That earned it a few bleeps on radio and video
channels, but no one seemed to notice the chorus, "IMF, dirty MF."
