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 of 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 carpal tunnel caverns
Til you break

The Brown Lipstick Parade
Jello Biafra & The Guantanamo School Of Medicine
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
Lots 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 any more
Got you back down on the floor
Through the WTO
Rich gets 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
