Made in China

about

For as long as I care to remember, the West has seen Chinese imports devaluing our economy. It might be about to stop if the Corona Virus spreads worldwide.

lyrics

In a far off land of rice and Zen,
where fifteen pounds buys a load of yen,
export goods for our intention,
thier guarantee they fail to mention.
you can’t get a taxi at the bus stop,
so why save pennies at the pound shop,
credit cards may get designer,
everything is made in China.

Cuddly toys or DVD’s
attractive costs are aimed to please,
plastic guns with no disclaimer,
loaded on a huge container.
Stylish clothes not made to measure,
something else that you may treasure,
shipped in on an ocean liner,
everything is made in China.

This countries debt is getting deeper,
because Joe Public wants things cheaper,
there ain’t no business in this town,
another factory closing down.
Once we were a wealthy nation,
found our way to beat inflation,
kept home grown for nothing finer,
everything is made in China.
