[Verse 1]
I finally found a job in the paper
Moving barrels at a chemical plant
There's a shiny-looking dust on my fingers
Going up my nose and into my lungs
[Chorus]
It's the Kepone poisoning, minamata (Kepone!)
It's the Kepone poisoning, minamata (Kepone!)
At the grimy Kepone factory (Kepone!)
Turning people into bonsai trees
[Verse 2]
Now I've got these splitting headaches
I can't quite get it up no more
I can't sleep and it's driving me crazy
I shake all day and I'm seeing double, yeah!
[Chorus]
It's the Kepone poisoning, minamata (Kepone!)
It's the Kepone poisoning, minamata (Kepone!)
At the grimy Kepone factory (Kepone!)
Turning people into bonsai trees
[Bridge]
Gonna go down to 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
[Verse 3]
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!
[Chorus]
'Cause of the Kepone poisoning, minamata (Kepone!)
It's the Kepone poisoning, minamata (Kepone!)
At the grimy Kepone factory, ee-yeah! (Kepone!)
Aw, aw, cough
