We Buy Cheap

I looked into the mirror
and realised we pull the strings
Rich men dance to our demands
We must buy cheap

Cheap products full our shopping carts
We create the demand
Like puppets on a string
We pull the strings as rich men dance

Employment leaves our city's
As rich men learn 
The people want cheap
The rich men learn

They can supply cheap
Move your factory
Into another county
Pay low wages and you can sell cheap

Little Johnny has no job
Because the elite
Follow the path we create
