Anti-Flag - The Consumer's Song Lyrics
Don't trust them as far as you can throw them'Cause as strong as you may be you won't be able to move them an inchBut you don't have to believe me go ahead and be the corporate stoogethat 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 sayingFor the phrase:"We're gonna screw you, till you're down on your knees... And you better not try to complain 'cause there's anotherHundred stiffs like you, all who'd plead...I'D KISS YOUR ASS JUST FOR A CHANCETO BE A WHORE TO YOUR COMPANY!!!"You see it every day, everywhere, on the t.v. screenEach time a different face or family, but it's always the same"We worked here all our lives, gave them everything we had and nowthey say they're gonna move the factory, to a third world country wherethe labor is cheap."But the fact my friend that you don't seeIs the money you spend on the goods they makeSupports their methods of abuse on the third world sceneAnd in your very own backyard, yes your countrySo I won't be the consumer that they want me to beBecause the goods I own, aren't going to set me freeSo I won't buy that crap, they want to sell meBecause the goods I own, won't set anyone free
