Corporations use child labor to keep the working poor from unionizing and decreasing company profits.
A solo punk band with songs ranging from politics to social issues to evolutionary biology.
Lacking any real musical talent, I decided to use Punk-o-Matic to create some generic punk backgrounds to the various songs I had written. Recorded at low quality through a computer microphone, the songs are not musical masterpieces but the lyrics are still strong. Give it a listen, you might enjoy it.
Lyrics
Born… into a poor family in a struggling country,
Forced… to work virtually from their infancy,
Chained… to their work stations all day,
Give…n but a pittance and ten cents pay,
Robbed… a childhood and an education,
By….products of post industrialization
It’s the Cycle of Poverty,
Child labor propagation,
A life of depravity,
Counter-unionization,
It’s the Cycle of Poverty,
To increase Western profits,
Is this the 18th century?
There’s a class conflict
In the Cycle of Poverty
Un…necessary for these children to toil
Save…that they’re easier to foil,
On… account of their young ages,
Can…be paid even smaller wages,
Or…be forced to labor as slaves,
Toys…in a horrific sex trade,
It’s the Cycle of Poverty,
Child labor propagation,
A life of depravity,
Counter-unionization,
It’s the Cycle of Poverty,
To increase Western profits,
Is this the 18th century?
There’s a class conflict
In the Cycle of Poverty
The Cycle of Poverty, woah,
The Cycle of Poverty, woah,
The Cycle of Poverty, woah,
The Cycle of Poverty, woah.
