lyrics
Profits and margins and markups and channels
and dollar signs and bottom lines all hide the fact
that the fat cat's fat on the blood, sweat, tears, fears
of underpaid, under-fed men and women and children that make
the labor force of distended nations that cower down before us!
As we go, as they go down in the ground to be buried in thier work!
As we go walking in line - go grab a cuppa joe, don't ya know -
seek and ye shall find: As we go, as they go
As we hold a candle for all the merchants
and barons and slave owners before us
as we go, as they go
never look back, don't you look back!
The rice rice fields, the diamond mines,
the sugar plantations - all indications that
NOTHING EVER CHANGES
money talks - it always has
put up or shut up
As we go walking in line - on demand: rape the land, take the man
after all this time, it's criminal
As we go, as they go
And we go, as they go, on the path of least resistance:
Horizontal escalator; do as commanded
To polite to call it bondage; signed, sealed, and branded
The money goes, and it shows how it goes, and it knows that it
shows as it goes that it's a killer!
It's a killer!
...and this is the killing floor!
