Corporations Are People, Too Songtext

Corporations Are People, Too Songtext
A corporation doesn′t have to feed a
FamilyA corporation cannot be unemployed
A corporation can't get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Heart disease, brain tumors or hemroids
A corporation is set up with one motive
And that is not to judge what′s right or fair
A corporation's only goal is making
Money That's why a corporation doesn′t care
A corporation can never sense the breeze upon its skin
Never know what it′s like to miss a meal
A corporation doesn't have to worry Because a corporation cannot feel
A corporation can never know the beauty
It cannot wake up in a grove of ancient trees
It only sees a hundred thousand dollars
And some mill jobs it can ship out overseas
A corporation can′t care for a child Sickened by a toxic oil spill
A corporation only stands to profit From
Interest on the loan for the hospital bill
A corporation never goes to funerals
Of any victims who may die along the way
A corporation cannot feel remorse A
Corporation never really has to pay
A corporation doesn't have a mouth But it often has many a mouthpiece
A corporation cannot shoot a gun But it can employ an army of police
A corporation can never go to prison No matter how horrible the crime
But a corporation can send lobbyists to Congress
To make sure more of us are doing time
A corporation doesn′t feel the pain Of a child raised by a TV set
And the corporations will just get bailed out
If their clients fall too deeply into debt
Corporations can't be rounded up and shot
A corporation can′t be tortured through the night
A corporation can't be blown up by an
IED A corporation cannot ever see the sight
A corporation can't be killed by a tsunami
A corporation cannot drown beneath the tide
A corporation doesn′t care who wins the war
If they can just sell weapons to both
Sides A corporation exists only to make money
A corporation never questions why A
Corporation doesn′t suffer consequences
Because a corporation doesn't live and doesn′t die
Because a corporation doesn't live and doesn′t die
FamilyA corporation cannot be unemployed
A corporation can't get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Heart disease, brain tumors or hemroids
A corporation is set up with one motive
And that is not to judge what′s right or fair
A corporation's only goal is making
Money That's why a corporation doesn′t care
A corporation can never sense the breeze upon its skin
Never know what it′s like to miss a meal
A corporation doesn't have to worry Because a corporation cannot feel
A corporation can never know the beauty
It cannot wake up in a grove of ancient trees
It only sees a hundred thousand dollars
And some mill jobs it can ship out overseas
A corporation can′t care for a child Sickened by a toxic oil spill
A corporation only stands to profit From
Interest on the loan for the hospital bill
A corporation never goes to funerals
Of any victims who may die along the way
A corporation cannot feel remorse A
Corporation never really has to pay
A corporation doesn't have a mouth But it often has many a mouthpiece
A corporation cannot shoot a gun But it can employ an army of police
A corporation can never go to prison No matter how horrible the crime
But a corporation can send lobbyists to Congress
To make sure more of us are doing time
A corporation doesn′t feel the pain Of a child raised by a TV set

A corporation doesn′t care who wins the war
If they can just sell weapons to both

A corporation never questions why A
Corporation doesn′t suffer consequences
Because a corporation doesn't live and doesn′t die
Because a corporation doesn't live and doesn′t die
