Corporate Deathburger
MDC Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ronald laughs as millions starve

And profits forever increase

Your stenching farts as they smile

They say they try to please
Plastic chairs and fake shakes

To help it all go down

Polluting your children with their lies

And trying to destroy your mind

Corporate deathburger, Ronald McDonald

Change from your five

Ankles deep in blood

Make it your career

Sell billions every year

Golden arches and Ronald smiles

Ronald laughs as billions starve

And profits forever increase

Feeding all your grain to cows

Dead children rest in peace

The stench of humans rotting

Smells just like fish filet

Your sign neglects to mention

50,000 starved today

Corporate deathburger, Ronald McDonald

Change from your five

Torture camps for cows

Slaughter and starvation

From death Corporation

Golden arches and Ronald Smiles

You say you're Christians but you're a fake

Multinationals on the take





Starving children deserve a break today
