Toys For The World

Toys for the world are made by kids
And not by elves at all!
We work them night and day
For very little pay. And tiny little hands
Make all our fav'rite brands
That fill up the shelves in every shopping mall.

Toys for the world that Santa brings
So our own kids can play
What's underneath your tree
Is our economy.
The little girls and boys
Who make our children's toys
Are not getting squat from us on Christmas Day!
They're not getting squat from us on Christmas Day!

O Come Ye Investors

O come, ye investors, captains of our commerce,
Come build your factories in Bangladesh
Come for the people, peaceful and compliant
O come let us exploit them
O come let us exploit them
O come let us exploit them because we can!

Child, in our sweatshops, make designer dresses,
So we get richer from your twelve-hour days!
Who would not hire you for ten cents an hour?
O come let us exploit them
O come let us exploit them
O come let us exploit them because we can!

See how consumers, blinded by low prices,
Leaving their consciences, come here to buy.
Into our pockets they will pour their dollars.
O come let us exploit them
O come let us exploit them
O come let us exploit them because we can!

Rest Easy Wealthy Gentlemen

Rest easy, wealthy gentlemen,
Let nothing make us sigh.
We give our workers tiny crumbs
So we can keep the pie.
We pay off politicians
So they bear our needs in mind
As they line up to kiss our fat behinds. If they're inclined,
Oh, they line up to kiss our fat behinds!

Don't worry, wealthy gentlemen,
Let nothing make us twitch.
This new global economy's
Designed to keep us rich.
We ply our trade in many lands
Let all their leaders come
To bend down and kiss us on the bum. There's a good chum.
Just bend down and kiss us on the bum!

1. Well done, eridani.

2. Not mine--I've been collecting these from various protest events over the years

Rhyme and meter in many of them leave a lot to be desired, but the three I posted were particularly good at overcoming those problems

3. So sad that this is true. Boycotts work, and until people refuse to buy Corporate, child labor,

worker abuser 'stuff', we will never defeat Corporate control of our government.

We did not buy any of their stuff this year. Starve the beast, it's the only way. Congress certainly won't do anything to end these abuses.
