Jello Biafra lyrics : "Electronic plantation"

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
