American Manufacturing

American Manufacturing Used to be about cars and trains And now we’re manufacturing Consent and hatred and outrage

Now propaganda ain’t nothin’ new But now it seems like it’s all we do Our biggest export and industry Is media illiteracy

The tech bros and the lobbyists Are making quite a mess They’re a twisted perversion Of the concept of success

And anyone with half a brain Is watchin’ us slip right down the drain With AI slop and Twitter games Til we all get fried by climate change

American Manufacturing Used to be a rich man’s game Now it’s an impossibly rich man’s game We oughtta eat em.

We’re gonna have to manufacture Someone with a spine To take down all these union busting Anti-social swine

They wanna keep us ignorant And subscribin’ and payin’ rent Pretending good economy Means you for you and me for me…

Not we for we… And certainly not one for all

We used to have a proud tradition of Workin men, enbies, and women Using their hands in factories And building strong communities

And now it’s all ragebait and lies And over 3 million Epstein files Of folks who tell us how do think and feel I think it’s time we prep that meal!

The tech bros and the billionaires Are making quite a mess They’re a twisted perversion Of the concept of success

And anyone with half a brain Is watchin’ us slip right down the drain With AI slop and Twitter games Til we all get fried by climate change

American Manufacturing Used to be a rich man’s game Now it’s an impossibly rich man’s game We oughtta eat em.

Fewer kids than ever Are learning how to read We’ve manufactured the idea that that’s Not a basic need

Cause when it comes down to it Manipulative headlines Will convince uneducated people That the kids yearn for the mines

Manufacture consent for genocides In several warring zones That happen to have the minerals We need for our iPhones

And Oil’s still a thing somehow For which we go to war Even though the sun is limitless Manufacture the need for more And more and more and more and more

The tech bros and the billionaires… …we oughtta eat em.
