You can see it on a sneaker,
Even when you close your eyes.
Got Nike in your psyche.
It pays to advertise.
People buying, people trying
For a piece of corporate cool.
Paying prices as inflated
As the air inside their shoes.

CHORUS

When they're telling you, "Just Do It,"
Just who are they doing it to?
Don't buy it, if the shoe fits.
Let's step on those Blue Swoosh Shoes.

See the workers in the sweatshops
In the land where labor's cheap.
Making shoes they can't afford to
Ever wear on their own feet.
While the big jocks get the big bucks.
That's the way the deck is stacked.
Michael Jordan makes a fortune
Off of foreign workers' backs.

CHORUS

Baby boomers, consumers,
Think about the price you pay.
Tell Nike to take a hike and
Invest in the U.S.A.
You can make it, a fashion statement,
Tell Nike, Come on home.
There's nothing to it. Just Do It.
The job you save might be your own.

CHORUS
