lyrics
kids in the congo
mining precious metals
barely ten years old;
so you can have a cellphone
disregarding child labor laws
their family needs a paycheck
in the musky mines owners claws
so they work their asses off
when will it stop 2x
oh my god
isn't it awful
sad face emoji
keep scrolling down (down)
oh my god
a serpent offers
an apple to us
who do I trust
the ore is sent to china
to the outskirts of Beijing
where it all gets assembled
factory workers slaving
and the windows have nets now
incase the workers try to end their life
no one bats an eye
people dying namelessly
but we all need to get online
is this what progress looks like x9
asphyxiation in the gold mine x4
I can't sleep at night knowing the device
waking me up in the morning was made by slaves
is this what we've become
a serpent offers an apple to me
I choke that shit down
children carrying shovels
with dirt on their faces
copy and paste this heinousness
lifes a sacred thing
mining precious metals
barely ten years old;
so you can have a cellphone
disregarding child labor laws
their family needs a paycheck
in the musky mines owners claws
so they work their asses off
when will it stop 2x
oh my god
isn't it awful
sad face emoji
keep scrolling down (down)
oh my god
a serpent offers
an apple to us
who do I trust
the ore is sent to china
to the outskirts of Beijing
where it all gets assembled
factory workers slaving
and the windows have nets now
incase the workers try to end their life
no one bats an eye
people dying namelessly
but we all need to get online
is this what progress looks like x9
asphyxiation in the gold mine x4
I can't sleep at night knowing the device
waking me up in the morning was made by slaves
is this what we've become
a serpent offers an apple to me
I choke that shit down
children carrying shovels
with dirt on their faces
copy and paste this heinousness
lifes a sacred thing
