Safety Last (Lyrics)

You cannot see What it is in the ground The papers they lie But they cannot deny That here trees won't grow anymore Too many babies born dead Or they've got some sort of flippers instead of arms The cows are sick The water tastes funny We've got these splitting headaches Cancer casualties in the area Increasing at an alarming rate Do you know why? Everybody knows why but they don't speak up Money makes people shut up Years ago the chemical factory moved To a poor land where the tax-climate is better And labor is cheap They don't know about safety regulations They can't even read And the government asks no questions As long as they invest Good for the economy Increases national productivity
