All I want's a sweatshirt
Says Nike on the front
All my friends are wearing them
Now I'm on the hunt
Went down to Honduras
They're damn near free down there
Polyester grows on trees
And labor's cheap as air

Slave labor and love
Slave labor and love
All God's children got new shoes thanks to
Slave labor and love

I sure like good coffee
Cost ten bucks a pound
Greasy beans warm up my dreams
With Columbia's finest ground
I hear they grow good cocaine
But I can't rightly say
Coca leaf makes better debt relief
Than pickin' coffee for pennies a day

Slave labor and love
Slave labor and love
All them beans been picked by teens thanks to
Slave labor and love

Just like my forefathers
I'd like to own some land
Somewhere on the prairie
Growing food with my own hand
But I don't like no hard work
Can't stand to break a sweat
Guess I'll need some human steed
To do my work for less than I'd get

Slave labor and love
Slave labor and love
This great land was built by hand thanks to
Slave labor and love
