Children for sale,The third world has great buys,
Male and female,
They gladden corporate eyes.
They weave rugs for the rich, stitch soc-cer balls,
And make toys and shoes for export to our malls.

No-o unions have they to prote-ect them,
No-o fam’lies or friends to defe-end them.
Third world kids don’t have enough.
While our stores have too much stuff.
With profits rolling, rolling in,
Who cares?

They don’t play with toys
Or kick soc-cer balls
And they won’t be wearing Nike shoe-oe-oes
Third world kids don’t have enough.
While our stores have too much stuff.
With profits rolling, rolling in,
Who cares?

We do!!
