Unobtainium

go

make units of labor of all nations
every child a refugee
all God's creatures great and small
extinct, endangered--or soon will be

clear the forest--leave a desert
wear the soil out to sea
mountains leveled, oceans burning
this is Progress, can't you see?

red and yellow, black and white
killed, exploited, put to flight
load the trains and feed the furnace
remember--WORK SHALL MAKE YOU FREE

it's yours if you can take and sell it
if it's shiny, they will pay
more Unfood to stuff us empty
more Ungoods to throw away
