Niketown, my Niketown
We love all your ware
When we strut in NIKE sneaks
Nothing can compare
Little girls in East Timor
Brutalized, enslaved
Just so machos here at home
Walk on streets gold-paved.
Niketown my Niketown
We must have your style
Looking like our hero jock
Smiling all the while.
Painted on the city wall
Or the ad– full page.
While the girls in East Timor
Get their starving wage.
Niketown, oh, Niketown
Why don’t you behave
Share your mammoth profits
With those who sweat and slave!
