lyrics

wanna work for the lowest wage?
discriminated by your gender and your race?
hope you don't wanna unionize,
cuz they're outa the question here
you're gonna have to work over time
but you won't see an extra dime
at wal-mart you do what you're told
if you wanna make it out alive

and if you want an insurance plan
you're better off askin' uncle same
cuz your check's not big enough to
get the one that they provide
you're gonna needa get federal aid
it's okay cuz it's the walmart way
they'll even show ya how to fill out
all the very gruelling paper work

so don't work at wal-mart
so don't shop at wal-mart
don't give your money to wal-mart
cuz wal-mart will make you pay
much more than you think

at the overseas factories
the workers live in the dormatories
cuz if you wanna live on your own
you're gonna pay the rent anyway
and over there you'll get your pay
workin' over 12 hours a day
makin' less than three dollars an hour
but you're lucky just to even get that

they got the "open door policy"
which means that they dont think you need
to have any kinda union at all
but they treat you all just like dogs
and if you're here illegally
at wal-mart that's okay
you can get a job cleanin' the store
locked safe inside for hours at night
