The Comrades: "Free Trade"

Written by Jimmy Williams and Randy Gaston. Copyright 1995.

All those corporate leaders shouting "buy american"
Patriotic slogans try to hide their real plan
Don't let them fool you when they scream and holler
Their only loyalty is to the almighty dollar

They don't give a shit when you're out on the street
Another lowly insect crushed under their feet
Before you look for other countries to blame
Realize you're a victim of the american capitalist game

They want to get you riled up against the japanese
Then they close down your plant and ship it overseas
Or cheaper labor costs in mexico
Who's fault is that? I think you already know

They don't give a shit when you're out on the street
Another lowly insect crushed under their feet
Before you look for other countries to blame
Realize you're a victim of the american capitalist game

lax environmental standards across the Rio Grande
American corporations pollute and rape their land
Greedy motherfuckers who have no regard for life
Have the nerve to blame consumers for our economic strife

They don't give a shit when you're out on the street
Another lowly insect crushed under their feet
Before you look for other countries to blame
Realize you're a victim of the american capitalist game
