The Consumers Song (Re-Recorded)

Don't trust them as far as you can throw them
 Because 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
 Be the corporate stooge that they trained you to be and
 Then you'll see what you get for your loyalty
 Yeah!

 They call it "Downsizing," 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 'cause 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 everywhere, every day, 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
 I won't be the consumer that they want me to be
 Because the goods I own, aren't going to set me free
 I won't buy that crap, they want to sell me
 Because the goods I own, won't set anyone free
