Hark, the Wall-Mart banners say,
“It’s made in the U.S.A.”
Read the FINE print and you’ll see.
Most things come from overseas.
Sweatshop factories exploit children.
While Sam Walton rakes in billions
Tell us where your factories are.
Do they exploit the world’s poor?
Hark, to Wal-Mart, Grannies rage,
People deserve a living wage!
A quarter-an-hour in Honduras,
Just five cents in Bangladesh.
Seven-day weeks in Guatemala,
Indonesians earn ten cents!
Workers beaten for mistakes,
Wal-Mart, this is a disgrace!
Tell us where your factories are.
Do they exploit the world’s poor?
Hark, to Wal-Mart, Grannies rage,
People deserve a living wage!
Wal-Mart sweatshops won’t stay secret,
We will let the whole world see.
We don’t want our hard earned money
Siphoned off by corporate greed!
We want human rights today,
Wal-Mart, we won’t go away!
Tell us where your factories are.
Do they exploit the world’s poor?
Hark, to Wal-Mart, Grannies rage.
People deserve a living wage!
