The people of the Congo
Are used as slave labour,
To mine copper and cobalt
To keep corporations rich,
They never benefit from what they mine
They work for less than nothing,
$2.15 dollars is what keeps them fed,
But the toxins from the metals
Of which they will see them dead,
And pregnant women give birth
To babies with various defects,
And all this toil and hard work
Fuels the phones that we all desire,
And with continuing demands
The exploitation and deaths grow higher,
But the governments and media
Won’t show the truth because they are all such liars.
