Where Have All The Jobs Gone?
Where have all the jobs gone that we once had yesterday?
Where have all the jobs gone? Why have they gone away?
They’ve all gone out to Mexico where they hardly pay a dime.
Where we exploit the population for corporate profits at the very same time.
“It’ll lower the prices” is the line they repeat.
But low prices make no difference if you’re out on the streets.
They’ll say “go work at Burger King” and try to make do.
But you can’t even make a living when you work with fast food.
The Texas Republican Party Platform wants to eliminate minimum wages
Unrestricted capitalism took us back to the Middle Ages.
Where the poor are put to work all the time in the fields,
Except the day they form the lines of swords and shields.
They’ll keep them busy watching Friends and Melrose Place,
They’ll have sex fighting sex and race fighting race.
When all else fails there’s always the church and the steeple,
The best way to make millions while brainwashing the people.
Where have all the jobs gone? The question rarely asked.
Why does the media not pick up on this? Why aren’t they doing their task?
Why the fake terror alerts in the news instead of 3 million jobs gone?
Why a White House run by Halliburton and Enron?
Corporations sponsor them whether or not they are good,
They’ve made a new hero, he’s called Robin’ Hoods.
He steals from the poor and gives to the rich,
$1,400 less pay a year is what he calls a little glitch.
Although many of our lives get ruined in the end,
Unfathomable wealth is attained by George W. Bush and his CEO friends.
Where have all the jobs gone, Mr. Phillip Knight?
Why can’t you see oppression for shoes just isn’t right?
We made our conscience of iron, but steel with our trust.
The steel was still there while the iron began to rust.
You make billions today, you could be gone tomorrow.
When nobody buys your products you will quickly feel our sorrow.
You claim NAFTA was creating more careers,
I guess that’s why your old factory workers have to settle for Sears.
You claim it got our wages beginning to soar,
The only ones higher in this world are yours.
Where have all the jobs gone? It’s driving me crazy.
They all got laid off, but you say that they’re lazy.
People will tell you it’s the land of the free,
But those who laid you off pay for the networks on TV.
We live in a country supposed to be run by Al Gore,
But run by an unelected leader who creates non-existing jobs and a fictitious war.
Capitalism isn’t working, it’s time for something new.
We need a new system, but first we need you.
