Verse
G+G       D MajorD
Don't trust 'em as far
         E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
As you can throw 'em
G+G               D MajorD
Because as strong as you may be
           E minorEm      C majorC D MajorD
You won't be able to move 'em an inch


Verse
G+G               D MajorD
But you don't have to believe me
   E minorEm        C majorC
Go ahead and be the corporate stooge
      D MajorD
That they trained you to be
        G+G       D MajorD         E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
And then you'll see what you get for your loyalty

Verse
G+G          D MajorD
They call it, 'Down sizing'
         E minorEm     C majorC   D MajorD
But that's just a backhanded saying
G+G               D MajorD
For the phrase, 'We're gonna screw you
       E minorEm      C majorC   D MajorD
Until you're down on your knees'


Verse
G+G          D MajorD
And you better not try to complain
         E minorEm        C majorC      D MajorD
Because there's another hundred stiffs like you
                G+G
All who'd plead, I'd kiss your ass just for a chance
     D MajorD          E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
To be a whore to your company


Verse
G+G           D MajorD
You see it every day, everywhere
    E minorEm C majorC   D MajorD
On the TV screen
G+G               D MajorD
Each time a different face or family
     E minorEm     C majorC  D MajorD
But it's always the same

Verse
G+G
"We worked here all our lives
D MajorD
Gave them everything we had
  E minorEm          C majorC        D MajorD
And now they say they're gonna move the factory
   G+G               D MajorD     E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
To a Third World country where the labour is cheap


Bridge
D MajorD        E minorEm      C majorC
But the fact, my friend, that you don't see
    D MajorD     E minorEm      C majorC
Is the money you spend on the goods they make
        D MajorD     E minorEm      C majorC
Supports their methods of abuse on the Third World scene
      D MajorD    E minorEm         C majorC
And in your very own backyard, yes, your country


Verse
G+G         D MajorD         E minorEm     C majorC D MajorD
So I won't be the consumer that they want me to be
G+G          D MajorD          E minorEm   C majorC  D MajorD
Because the goods I own aren't going to set me free
G+G          D MajorD         E minorEm    C majorC D MajorD
So I won't buy that crap they want to sell to me
G+G          D MajorD       E minorEm
Because the goods I own won't set anyone free
