In Defense of General Motors

In Defense of General Motors

By Elton Camp

Thirteen people are out of luck
About a part costing under a buck

For ten years, GM knew about it
To their customers didn’t shout it

They were in the profit-making game
So who can rightfully cast any blame

Public safety has to take second place
Angry shareholders they have to face

Admitting a defect might hurt sales
And accepting blame it also entails

In GM’s defense, there’s lots to say
Most of their cars didn’t do that way

Steering, brakes, air bags worked well
Those facts it’s important also to tell

Even if a few people had to die
To protect profits they had to try

Big Business has always been that way
So for GM, let’s hear a loud “Hooray!”
