Lyrics for Kepone Factory

I finally found a job in a paper Movin' barrels at a chemical plant There's shiny-looking dust on my fingers Goin' up my nose and into my lungs It's the Kepone poisoning-Minamata Kepone poisoning-Minamata At the grimy Kepone Factory Turning people into bonzai trees Now I've got these splitting headaches Can't quite get it up no more I can't sleep and it's driving me crazy Shake all day and I'm seeing double Kepone poisoning-Minamata Kepone poisoning-Minamata At the grimy Kepone Factory Turning people into bonzai trees Gonna go down 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 Kepone poisoning-Minamata At the grimy Kepone Factory, yeah
