lyrics

Sweatshops are commonly thought to be a relic of history
but they've always existed alongside capitalist economies
exploitation built these nations and they've not changed their ways
the corporate global agenda ensures that slavery is here to stay
WTO, IMF, World Bank, and "Free Trade" institutions
increasing the power of the ruling class and corporations
destroying the planet and enslaving populations
accelerating the process of global domination
the lawless pirates of the new global economy
spreading sweatshop production and pampant inequality
a competition among brutal nation states
to enslave their own citizens for the corporate parasites
the process of creating an enslaved, dependant country
a science worked out to aid multinational industry
the first step is to destroy the independent local economies
carried out in collaborations with local puppet authorities
then in come the filth who will benefit from the destruction
corporations seeking cheapest means of production
the garment industry is at the crest of the wave
ravaging the earth and its people for the latest fashions of the day
world markets opened to fire, unfettered trade
nations with the least regulations are the ones who make the grade
corporations placing manufacturing plants and factories
where women and children will work up to 84 hours a week
people tricked into bondage for less than one dollar a day
killing those who fight for better conditions or an increase in pay
developing countries competing for western corporate patronage
the major assets are tax pollution, safety laws and poverty wages
now totalitarian governments are forcing people to work without pay
using the desperation of the third world to circumvent a "living wage"
politicians entertaining the business class of the west
seeking payoffs and power at their population's expense
the host country becomes plagued with disease and prostitution
poverty, death and drug addiction is the worker's retribution
the natural resources of the country are exported to europe and the west
while the general population eats the garbage that is left
some people believe such conditions to be worthy and necessary
Globalists say its part of a developing nation's journey to prosperity
yet these countries had all the resources to live healthy and free
but all was destroyed and restricted to create the new economy
and when these companies find a more cheap and easy way
they close the factory doors and covertly move away
leaving famine and war and a thousand lonely graves
the slave drivers disappear and nobody knew their names
but slowly the truth is beginning to find its way
and now we know the names of those who are to blame
those who offer slave labour are those who create the needy investors, shareholders who will drag you to your knees
fire and flame
to burn the filth away
fire and flame
we know who is to blame
