Wishing Chair - Carolina lyrics

Hawkers peddle t-shirts at the game For $25 dollars you get to wear a name They sew those shirts in Puebla, Mexico That's the part we never really know Carolina 800 worked at the Kuk Dong factory Some of them lied and said they were 15 They were making shirts for Reebok and Nike Eight universities Carolina $32 dollars for a 50 hour week When they tried to form a union Five were thrown out on the street 300 workers occupied the plant The police beat them with rubber bats Carolina When the press heard about what they'd done Nike thought they might just cut and run Corporate profit is always the bottom line Where's the point when profit is a crime? Carolina Nine months later and a hunger strike The maquiladora won their basic rights The company saved its face and changed its name I wonder if those colors really change? Carolina Hawkers selling t- shirts at the game For $25 you get to wear a name
