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