20 cents an hour 11 hour day
40 min break for crappy food
crackin the whip on these kids
make toys for western girls & boys (or whomever)
this hell job seems like forever
You’re under 12, can you hold it together?
Violation of Labor Laws left & right
not shopping could make it right
so pull out your credit cards
Cause Corporate Clause strikes tonight!
Isoamyl acetate
poisoning elf children left & right
Outdated laws that don’t do shit
suicide nets over a fatality pit
tuck on in your tiny bunk of a cage
the tears & blood across the sea
To try make a buck on American children’s dreams
The fear & terror fills me with some rage
X-mas holiday is completely fucked up to me
ICT Care doesn’t care
It’s an Icy tear & wear
on a child's hands & heart
How the hell did this mess all start?!
your holiday spirit has fallen further apart
Here comes Corporate Clause
Here kills Corporate Clause
Killing all the world around him
taking all the money
takin resource
stress lines through divorce
Brainwash advertising
Selling profit dreams
Plastic over producing
jingling out your wallet through your heart’s seems
Coca-Cola wants to to try
their sugary classic shit
So they can continue to take over
until the whole world is a burning pit
Prove your love
by buying things
every X-mas year
whether you need or want it
better wrap a gift
to show that you care
obligation, stress sensation
charge up your cards
let’s get ready to manufacture
plastic and more shit that kills
kills the planet, kills our air
Getting objects to show you care
does it feel real or fake
you’re conditioned until you break
pre-programmed since birth
Realize the terrible truth
What else is gonna take?
wanna be charged for each snow flake?
I remember my Cow Rape Milk Chocolate x-mas calendar!
how i loved my murder cow RAPE MILK Chocolate! x-mas calendar
year ‘round, but amped up more global farts
from fatality of innocent cows
all dignity of life forced to bow
Chinese Children Elf Slaves
On the 20cent hour workin Wage
Isoamyl acetate
fills kiddos lungs, hey!
Now they meet their grim fate
Shopping malls filled for the x-mas date
the jingle bells have all rung wrong
come on now, don’t ya wanna sing this cheery song?!
Corporate Coke Clause
Crackin the whip
takin all the rivers without pause
Don’t ya want a cola sip?
