McDONALDS

They're killing our planet just to make more Big Macs
And to stuff all our faces with shit -
They're logging rainforests, destroying life forms,
And all in the name of profit.
They're driving indigenous peoples
Far away from their ancestral lands,
To hold them in slavery and bondage,
As our governments give them a hand.

They steal from the people their birthrights
An' they turn the land into a farm,
An' they're ploughing it up to grow cattle,
And they never do care who they harm
They've left people homeless and breadless,
Sleeping out in the cold of the night,
And they're murdering still nameless millions,
In the name of their corporate might.

They're killing our planet just to make more Big Macs
And to stuff all our faces with shit -
They're logging rainforests, destroying life forms,
And all in the name of profit.
When there's not a tree that's left standing
'Cos they've chopped every one to the ground,
They'll puff and they'll gloat in their board rooms -
A McDonalds now, in every town.

They make you believe that you want them,
With their ads and their media hype,
But what they are really doing
Is taking over control of your life.
They suck the life blood from young workers
Whose cheap labour is all that they seek;
Then when they're too old for youth wages,
Throw their carcasses out in the street.

They're destroying the air that we're breathing,
An' polluting our lungs and our blood,
An' they're poisoning the world's mighty rivers
And killing us with their junk food.
They're killing the Earth just to make more Big Macs,
But our planet it still can be saved,
If we get hold of Ronald McDonald
And throw the bastard right into his grave.
