Nike shoes and Starbucks beans
Make millions a day
But workers who produce them
Get starvation pay.
One dollar fifty a day
Is the workers take
For the hundred eighty buck shoes
That Nike makes.
Bean pickers for Starbucks
Also get the shaft
One dollar twenty a day
Forces them to fast.
Nike town, oh, Nike town,
Why don’t you behave,
Share your mammoth profits
With those who sweat and slave.
Starbucks, Starbucks, coffee czars,
You can also share,
With those who pick your beans
Wages that are fair.
Let’s boycott these products
Till there’s decent pay
Corporations can afford
Sixty bucks a day.
