Kepone Factory - Lyrics by Dead Kennedys


Lyrics
I finally found a job in a paper

Movin' barrels at a chemical plant

There's shiny-looking dust on my fingers

Goin' up my nose and into my lungs

It's the Kepone poisoning-
Minamata

Kepone poisoning-
Minamata

At the grimy Kepone Factory

Turning people into bonzai trees

Now I've got these splitting headaches
I can't quite get it up no more
I can't sleep and it's driving me crazy
I shake all day and I'm seeing double

Kepone poisoning-
Minamata

Kepone poisoning-
Minamata

Gonna go down your big metal building

Gonna slam right through your bright metal door

Gonna grab you by your sta-prest collar

And ram some kepone down your throat

The lawyer says '
That's the breaks, kid

Gonna gnarl and rot the rest of your life

If you don't sue, we'll give you a Trans-
Am:'

That I'll never drive cos I shake all the time

'
Cause of the Kepone poisoning
Minamata
At the grimy Kepone factory
