Electronic Plantation Lyrics

Ya-Ha-Ha

Ho Ho Ho

Shipped your job to Mexico

But we got plans for all of you to re-train

Pit the whole world against each other

For who will work for the lowest wage

The rest of you can die

As epidemics rage

Worked hard all your life

Now you must go on line

And stare all day

At a little plastic screen

Electronic plantation

Electronic plantation

Same old job

Now you're just a temp

Less pay, no benefits

No raise, no vacation

Or sick leave days

Chain the slaves to the oars

Faster, faster, row some more!

In carpel tunnel caverns

Til you break

We monitor you all

Every time you leave your chair

Or talk on the phone

One minute overtime

At the toilet

And you're fired

Electronic plantation

Electronic plantation

Only use we've left for you

Is burn you at both ends

Locked in the research triangle

Shirtwaist fire's flames

Lot's of people need your job

And you can be replaced

Replaced

Replaced

Unemployed and overqualified

Strikers who gave their lives

Fighting for basic human rights

That don't mean nothing anymore

Got you back down on the floor

Through the WTO

Rich get richer

Poor get poorer

Factory or PHD

You are all termites now

Laptop is your ball and chain

Til we downsize you away

Shop at home

Is your reward

Your best friend is a mouse

Electronic plantation

Electronic plantation

Electronic plantation

Electronic plantation
