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