A song about sweatshops in Cambodia and Western guilt.

lyrics

Verse 1: Maximise profits at all costs. The blood on our hands will come out in the wash. They're makin' H&M garments, Adidas hoodies, Asics sneakers and Nike jerseys. Chorus: The pain and the suffering of a seamstress. The pain and the suffering of a seamstress. Rapacious humanity with the thread of each needle. This pure evil it is conceivable. This pure evil it is conceivable. Verse 2: The clothes on my back were sewn in a sweatshop. I'm sweatin' more than a priest in a sex shop. Third world tourism thriving. Exploiting the poor. I need a video or photo to prove I exist to prove they exist. To prove I exist to prove they exist. To prove I exist to prove they exist. To prove I exist. The butcher revisits the slaughterhouse. Violence doesn't face us it titillates our minds. Staring into the black mirror of abyss. Life has become cheap,cheap,cheap,cheap,cheap,cheap.cheap. Was it always like this? first world gluttony we didn't ask to be born into this. Third world slavery they didn't ask to be born into this. We all have the right to live not merely exist. We all have the right to live not merely exist. We all have the right to live not merely exist. We all have the right to live not merely exist. We all have the right to live not merely exist. We all have the right to live not merely exist. Exist, exist, exist. Chorus: The pain and the suffering of a seamstress. The pain and the suffering of a seamstress. Rapacious humanity with the thread of each needle. This pure evil it is conceivable. This pure evil it is conceivable. It is conceivable. Outro: Open sewers like open wounds. Evil and big business are in cahoots. Open sewers like open wounds. Evil and big business are in cahoots. Open sewers like open wounds. Evil and big business are in cahoots. Open sewers like open wounds. Evil and big business are in cahoots.
