[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
I still go to Big Box-Mart.
Yes, Im there most all there most all the time
These days you´ll likely find me sweeping isle number 9
My dreams of our retirement have gone up in a blaze,
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?
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,
