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