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 stay 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      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 flame   Lots of people need your job   And you can be replaced   Replaced   Replaces   Unemployed and overqualified      Strikers who gave their lives fighting for   Basic human rights   That don’t mean nothin’ any more      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
