The Big Three Killed My Baby
The White Stripes Lyrics

The big three killed my baby
The dominance of three large corporations in the automotive industry caused the death of my loved one.

No money in my hand again
I am broke and unable to afford basic necessities.

Nobody's comin' home again
My loved one will never return home due to the fatal consequences of the actions of the big three corporations.

Their ideas made me want to spit
The ideas and practices of the big three corporations are disgusting and repulsive to me.

A hundred dollars goes down the pit
My hard-earned money is being wasted and consumed by the greed of these corporations.

Thirty thousand wheels are rollin'
The sheer scale and magnitude of the automotive industry is enormous.

And my stick shift hands are swollen
I have physically suffered from working with the antiquated machinery of this industry for too long.

Everything involved is shady
There is a lot of corruption and unethical behavior in the automotive industry.

Why don't you take the day off and try to repair
Instead of incessantly producing new cars, try fixing the existing ones.

A billion others don't seem to care
Despite the large number of people affected by the actions of the big three corporations, most seem apathetic or unaware.

Better ideas are stuck in the mud
Innovative and sustainable ideas are being ignored or suppressed in favor of profit-driven modes of production.

The motors runnin' on tuckers blood
Cars run on the fuel that is destroying the environment and contributing to the overall damage of our planet.

Don't let em tell you the futures electric
The idea that electric cars are the future is oversimplified and ignores the underlying systemic issues and inequities in the automotive industry.

Thirty thousand wheels are spinnin'
The sheer scale and magnitude of the automotive industry is enormous.

And oil company faces are grinnin'
The damage done by the automotive industry benefits oil companies, and they profit from the destruction of our planet.

Now my hands are turnin' red
I have been physically harmed and am suffering from working in this industry for too long.

And I found out my baby is dead
I learned that my loved one has died as a direct result of the actions of the big three corporations.

People are burnin' for pocket change
The exploitative practices of the automotive industry are causing immense suffering and even death for some people.

And creative minds are lazy
Instead of innovating and improving the industry, many are content to maintain the status quo and collect a paycheck.

So don't feed me planned obsolescence
I am tired of being forced to constantly buy new, unnecessary cars due to the intentional design of planned obsolescence.

I'm about to have another blowout
I am close to reaching my breaking point and rebelling against the oppressive and harmful practices of the automotive industry.
