Lyrics

A corporation doesn't have to feed a FamilyA corporation cannot be unemployed A corporation can't get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Heart disease, brain tumors or hemroids A corporation is set up with one motive And that is not to judge what's right or fair A corporation's only goal is making Money That's why a corporation doesn't care A corporation can never sense the breeze upon its skin Never know what it's like to miss a meal A corporation doesn't have to worry Because a corporation cannot feel A corporation can never know the beauty It cannot wake up in a grove of ancient trees It only sees a hundred thousand dollars And some mill jobs it can ship out overseas A corporation can't care for a child Sickened by a toxic oil spill A corporation only stands to profit From Interest on the loan for the hospital bill A corporation never goes to funerals Of any victims who may die along the way A corporation cannot feel remorse A Corporation never really has to pay A corporation doesn't have a mouth But it often has many a mouthpiece A corporation cannot shoot a gun But it can employ an army of police A corporation can never go to prison No matter how horrible the crime But a corporation can send lobbyists to Congress To make sure more of us are doing time A corporation doesn't feel the pain Of a child raised by a TV set And the corporations will just get bailed out If their clients fall too deeply into debt Corporations can't be rounded up and shot A corporation can't be tortured through the night A corporation can't be blown up by an IED A corporation cannot ever see the sight A corporation can't be killed by a tsunami A corporation cannot drown beneath the tide A corporation doesn't care who wins the war If they can just sell weapons to both Sides A corporation exists only to make money A corporation never questions why A Corporation doesn't suffer consequences Because a corporation doesn't live and doesn't die Because a corporation doesn't live and doesn't die
