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