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