The consumer's song


Don't trust them as far as you can throw them

'Cause 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, till 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

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics THE CONSUMER'S SONG of ANTI-FLAG is also present in the album A new kind of army (1999)
