[Verse]
G# D#
Don't trust 'em as far
Fm C# D#
As you can throw 'em
G# D#
Because as strong as you may be
Fm C# D#
You won't be able to move 'em an inch
[Verse]
G# D#
But you don't have to believe me
Fm C#
Go ahead and be the corporate stooge
D#
That they trained you to be
G# D# Fm C# D#
And then you'll see what you get for your loyalty
[Verse]
G# D#
They call it, 'Down sizing'
Fm C# D#
But that's just a backhanded saying
G# D#
For the phrase, 'We're gonna screw you
Fm C# D#
Until you're down on your knees'
[Verse]
G# D#
And you better not try to complain
Fm C# D#
Because there's another hundred stiffs like you
G#
All who'd plead, I'd kiss your ass just for a chance
D# Fm C# D#
To be a whore to your company
[Verse]
G# D#
You see it every day, everywhere
Fm C# D#
On the TV screen
G# D#
Each time a different face or family
Fm C# D#
But it's always the same
[Verse]
G#
"We worked here all our lives
D#
Gave them everything we had
Fm C# D#
And now they say they're gonna move the factory
G# D# Fm C# D#
To a Third World country where the labour is cheap
[Bridge]
D# Fm C#
But the fact, my friend, that you don't see
D# Fm C#
Is the money you spend on the goods they make
D# Fm C#
Supports their methods of abuse on the Third World scene
D# Fm C#
And in your very own backyard, yes, your country
[Verse]
G# D# Fm C# D#
So I won't be the consumer that they want me to be
G# D# Fm C# D#
Because the goods I own aren't going to set me free
G# D# Fm C# D#
So I won't buy that crap they want to sell to me
G# D# Fm
Because the goods I own won't set anyone free
