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