The G7 (also known as the G-7) is an international finance group consisting of the finance ministers from seven industrialized nations.
The G7 began in 1975 as the Group of Six and included the countries of France, Germany, Italy, Japan, United Kingdom, and United States, and was joined by Canada the following year . Collectively, the G7 nations comprised 50.4% of global nominal GDP and 39.3% of global GDP (PPP). This group meets several times a year to discuss economic policies. Their work is supported by regular, functional meetings of officials, including the G7 Finance disputes.
The G7 met in Washington D.C. twice in 2008 and in February 2009, in Rome, to discuss the global financial crisis of 2007-2010. The group of finance ministers has pledged to take "all necessary steps" to help stem the crisis.
Seven richest countries in the world
All of them have a little meeting
And them a plan to keep and oppress the poor
So them have a little meeting
But when them think then thing goes another way
Oh, when them think then thing goes another way
Did you hear about these meetings
No you won't find poor countries there
Because of capitalist greed
Revolution seem to be the only way
It may be an old fashion way of thinking
But I believe in the people and these aims
'Cause when them think then things go the people way
One day dem deh deh dem no, deh deh
When them think then things go the the people way
One day dem deh deh dem no, deh deh
These countries want to stay on top so they'll find any way
To them third world people life is but a small price to be paid
They think they're great feeling no one can touch them
Well, them have a next thing comin'
'Cause when them think then things go the people way
One day dem deh deh dem no, deh deh
Oh when them think then thing goes another way
One day dem deh deh dem no, deh deh
One day dem deh deh dem no, deh deh
Seven richest things in the world
What do they do for the people
Look at America the so called best
How many homeless where the money went
In the sky on weapons of death
Why don't they write the needy some more checks
'Cause when them think then thing goes another way
One day dem deh deh dem no, deh deh
When them think then things go the the people way
One day dem deh deh dem no, deh deh
One day dem deh deh dem no, deh deh
One day dem deh deh dem no, deh deh
One day dem deh deh dem no, deh deh
One day dem deh deh dem no, deh deh
And revolution seem to be the only way
