G D C5 G/B C5 G/B
Don't trust them as far as you can throw them
G D Em C D
'Cause as strong as you may be you won't be able to move them an inch

But you don't have to believe me go ahead And
C5 G/B C5 G/B
Be the corporate stooge that they trained you to be and

then you'll see what you get for your loyalty!

[Verse 2]
G D C5 G/B C5 G/B
They call it "down sizing" but that's just a backhanded saying
G D Em C D
for the phrase: "We're gonna screw you, till you're down on your knees
G D C5 G/B C5
And you better not try to complain 'cause there's another hundred stiffs like you all
G/B
who'd plead:
G N.C C
"I'd kiss your ass just for a chance to be a whore to your company!"
G D C5 G/B C5 G/B
You see it every day, everywhere, on the T.V. screen
G D Em C D
Each time a different face or family, but it's always the same
G D
"We worked here all our lives, gave them everything we had
C5 G/B C5 G/B
And now they say they're gonna move the factory
G D C
To a third world country where the labor is cheap."
D Em C
But the fact my friend that you don't see
D Em C
Is the money you spend on the goods they make supports
D Em C
their methods of abuse on the third world scene
D Em C N.C.
And in your very own backyard, yes your country
[Verse 3]

G D C Cmaj7 Am C D
Because the goods I own, aren't going to set me free
G D C Cmaj7 Am C
So I won't buy that crap, they want to sell me
G D C
Because the goods I own, won't set anyone free
