SHUTTLE, STEEL AND SEWING THREAD
© Brian d'Arcy - UK-Eire

Shuttle, steel and sewing thread
from the cradle till you’re dead,

This is how great wealth is made
from those who labour, under-paid,
for masters of the global trade.

Shuttle, steel and sewing thread
from the cradle till you’re dead,

For eons now it has been so,
for eons while the profits grow -
but that is all there is to show.

Shuttle, steel and sewing thread
from the cradle till you’re dead,

The system doesn’t carry slack,
its bottom line is always black,
so sell your soul and break your back.

Shuttle, steel and sewing thread
from the cradle till you’re dead,

Shuttle, steel and sewing thread
from the cradle till you’re dead,

Shuttle, steel and sewing thread
from the cradle till you’re dead.
