Otherwise your skin is going to turn to leather
We'll make a movie in Vietnam
The tax break said, 'We're going to shoot on location'
The rug says, 'Made in Korea'
Manufactured in a factory using cheap labor
And all over Asia
The third world becoming a major league player
Mass production in Saigon
While all the workers laid off in Cleveland
Hot jacuzzi in Taiwan
With empty factories in Birmingham
Now it's baby boomers in Hong Kong
And cowboys in Vietnam making their movies
Big confusion in Hollywood
Now it's American Major League in Japan
Hamburgers in China with sushi bars in Maine and Boston
The dollar signs said, 'Expand on it'
Cowboys in Vietnam making their movies
Wake up in the White House
Zip up your pants and gather together
Take a look at your overseas neighbor
Look at their strange behavior
Take a look at your wigwam
Inside it says the product is Asian
Once it was only in movies
Now it's a product invasion
Mass production in Saigon
While all the workers laid off in Cleveland
Hot jacuzzi in Taiwan
With empty factories in Birmingham
Now it's sweatshops in Hong Kong
Dressing cowboys in Vietnam making their movies
Let's make up movie in Vietnam
You better top up your suntan
Looks like we're in for heavy weather
Economic meltdown
Nobody said it would last forever
Let's make a movie in bad debt
Take the culture out to the third world
Blow up the grand new civilization
In the name of globalisation
Big confusion in Hollywood
Now it's American Major League in Japan
Hamburgers in China, with sushi bars in Maine and Boston
Dollar signs said, 'Expand on it'
Cowboys in Vietnam making their movies
Watch out!
Ride off with your debts into the sunset
You better top up your suntan Otherwise your skin is going to turn to leather We'll make a movie in Vietnam The tax break said, 'We're going to shoot on location' The rug says, 'Made in Korea' Manufactured in a factory using cheap labor And all over Asia The third world becoming a major league player Mass production in Saigon While all the workers laid off in Cleveland Hot jacuzzi in Taiwan With empty factories in Birmingham Now it's baby boomers in Hong Kong And cowboys in Vietnam making their movies Big confusion in Hollywood Now it's American Major League in Japan Hamburgers in China with sushi bars in Maine and Boston The dollar signs said, 'Expand on it' Cowboys in Vietnam making their movies Wake up in the White House Zip up your pants and gather together Take a look at your overseas neighbor Look at their strange behavior Take a look at your wigwam Inside it says the product is Asian Once it was only in movies Now it's a product invasion Mass production in Saigon While all the workers laid off in Cleveland Hot jacuzzi in Taiwan With empty factories in Birmingham Now it's sweatshops in Hong Kong Dressing cowboys in Vietnam making their movies Let's make up movie in Vietnam You better top up your suntan Looks like we're in for heavy weather Economic meltdown Nobody said it would last forever Let's make a movie in bad debt Take the culture out to the third world Blow up the grand new civilization In the name of globalisation Big confusion in Hollywood Now it's American Major League in Japan Hamburgers in China, with sushi bars in Maine and Boston Dollar signs said, 'Expand on it' Cowboys in Vietnam making their movies Watch out!
