The Consumers Song(Re-Recorded) - Anti-Flag

The Consumer's Song(Re-Recorded)-Anti-Flag
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
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
'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 every day everywhere
on the t v 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
