Must be someone to give to
Pull you always have with you
Who can pay for their conscience?
International people
International people fly first class round your sofa
All your trials are over, international people

First a kiss on the left cheek
Then a slap on the right cheek
Give the coat to the doorman
Give the children to charity
First a kiss on the right cheek
Then a slap on the left cheek
Give the coat to the doorman
Give the children to charity

Here's the one who uplifts you
Here's the one who degrades you
Here's yourself getting stamped on
International people
International people, send her out to the crisis
Frame her back to the sunset, international people

First a kiss on the left cheek
Then a slap on the right cheek
Give the coat to the doorman
Give the children to charity
First a kiss on the right cheek
Then a slap on the left cheek
Give the coat to the doorman

Give the children to charity
He's a clean white boy in a clean white shirt
And he looks so good on the dance floor
Two young lovers can't afford to kiss
There's gonna be hell to pay for this
Live your life for the loving
Give your love for the taking
We're so loving and giving
Sing a tale that means nothing
All your trials are over
Sit yourself on the sofa
Wait your turn for the handout
International people

First a kiss on the left cheek
Then a slap on the right cheek
Give the coat to the doorman
Give the children to charity
First a kiss on the right cheek
Then a slap on the left cheek
Give the coat to the doorman
Give the children to charity
