Just Do It
A fifteen year old girl beaten for not working fast enough,
By her employer called Nike while making shoes and stuff.
"Just do it!" they told her as she went on strike,
"Just do it!" is the company's new slogan put in by Phillip Knight.
She was given 16 hours a day and a miserable wage,
Yet when somebody writes about this right wingers turn the page.
"Just do it!" they screamed when she demanded more pay,
than the fifty cents an hour and 16 hours a day.
"Just do it!" they said as she was about to collapse,
about to pass out in her superviser's tight graspe.
They hit her a few times and they told her to work,
She's on the floor bleeding because of these jerks.
They broke their own standard of how they treat their labor,
While Phillip Knight goes to Washington trying to win politicians favor.
She made a 100 dollar jersey and received $0.74 cents,
Because giving a good wage in Mr. Knight's eyes is cash poorly spent.
That wouldn't be spent on his house in Taiwan,
Or the party on his yacht out in Oregon.
"Just do it!" they said, we don't want any "But's",
We don't care if these wages won't get you out of that hut.
So she worked up her courage and organized a strike,
Demanding better treatment is what she would like.
When she was ready to walk out the others just stared,
"Just do it!" she screamed, "it's time to stop being scared."
