Kepone Factory lyrics

I finally found a job in a paper

Movin' barrels at a chemical plant

There's shiny-looking dust on my fingers

Goin' up my nose and into my lungs

It's the Kepone poisoning-Minamata

Kepone poisoning-Minamata

At the grimy Kepone Factory

Turning people into bonzai trees

Now I've got these splitting headaches

Can't quite get it up no more

I can't sleep and it's driving me crazy

Shake all day and I'm seeing double

Kepone poisoning-Minamata

Kepone poisoning-Minamata

At the grimy Kepone Factory

Turning people into bonzai trees

Gonna go down your big metal building

Gonna slam right through your bright metal door

Gonna grab you by your sta-prest collar

And ram some kepone down your throat

The lawyer says "That's the breaks, kid"

"Gonna gnarl and rot the rest of your life"

"If you don't sue, we'll give you a Trans-Am"

That I'll never drive 'cause I shake all the time

'Cause of the Kepone poisoning-Minamata

Kepone poisoning-Minamata

At the grimy Kepone Factory, yeah
