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