Paroles de Big Box Mart

[Chinese gong]

Oh, it starts with sweatshop labor in a foreign factory,
And gets back on a vessel and shipped over the sea
It's loaded onto trailers and it's spread across the map,
Big Box-Mart is the place I go to buy all of my crap.

Oh Big Box-Mart, what do you have for me ?
Cause our shopping carts are empty and were on a shopping spree

I come to the Big Box-Mart cause I do have lots of needs
And they sell crap the cheapest with their discounts guaranteed.
When I'm walking through the isles it's like I'm hypnotized
With a wallet full of credit cards, I never leave deprived.

Oh Big Box-Mart, thank you for serving me.
But my house is full of crap now and it used to be emp-ty.

The next day at the factory, the news was very grim.
My job was being outsourced to the slums of East Beijing.
Management was streamlining the company org[anization] chart.
We gotta make crap cheap enough to sell to Big Box-Mart!

Oh Big Box-Mart, look what you've done to me
He's gotta start all over now at the age of 53
And I'll be scrubbing toilets till they stick me in the grave

Oh Big Box-Mart, what have you sold to me?
We used to be your customers, now were your employees

Oh Big Box-Mart, my paycheck reminds me
Your everyday low prices have a price
They aren't free

Paper or plastic?
