I finally found a job in the paper Moving barrels at a chemical plant There's a shiny-looking dust on my fingers Going up my nose and into my lungs [Chorus] It's the Kepone poisoning - Minamata It's the Kepone poisoning - Minamata At the grimy Kepone factory Turning people into bonsai trees Now I've got these splitting headaches I can't quite get it up no more I can't sleep and it's driving me crazy I shake all day and I'm seeing double
[Chorus] Gonna go down to your big metal building Gonna slam right through your bright metal door Gonna grab you by your sta-prest collar And ram some Kepone down your throat The lawyer says, "That's the breaks, kid Gonna gnarl and rot the rest of your life If you don't sue, we'll give you a Trans-Am..." That I'll never drive 'cause I shake all the time 'Cause of the Kepone poisoning - Minamata At the grimy Kepone factory
